Root Cause Analysis
Root Cause Analysis
The goal of the root cause analysis process is to find out what happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening again. Because our culture of safety is based on prevention, not punishment, teams investigate how well patient care systems function. We focus on the "how" and the "why" not on the "who". Through the application of Human Factors Engineering approaches, we aim to support human performance. |
