A healthcare failure mode and effect analysis to optimise the process of blood culture performance.

open access: yesThe Netherlands journal of medicine, 2020
Blood cultures are essential diagnostic tools to identify pathogens in systemic infections. However, logistics of blood culture performance is often suboptimal. This study analyses the pre-analytic phase of blood culture processing through different types of risk assessments.We performed direct observations to gain in-depth knowledge of the root causes

Assessing Needle-Stick Injury Risks in Healthcare Settings Using the Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) Tool

Hospital Topics
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are exposed to needle stick injuries (NSIs), putting them at risk of contracting diseases such as Hepatitis B (HB) and AIDS. This study aims to identify and assess the risk of injuries caused by needles and sharps among healthcare personnel in a tertiary care hospital in Pune, by application of healthcare failure mode and ...

HEALTHCARE FAILURE MODE AND EFFECT ANALYSIS: PROSES PELAYANAN OPERASI DI RUMAH SAKIT

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Most of medical errors are preventable. Highnumber of adverse event and near miss cases in hospitalsindicate opportunity for improvement. Therefore, efforts toidentify potential risks, recognize event as early as possible,and set a barrier mechanism through implementation of HealthCare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) are required ...

Designing a Safer Process to Prevent Retained Surgical Sponges: A Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis

AORN Journal, 2011
AbstractA retained surgical sponge is a sentinel event that can result in serious negative outcomes for the patient. Current standards rely on manual counting, the accuracy of which may be suspect, yet little is known about why counting fails to prevent retained sponges. The objectives of this project were to describe perioperative processes to prevent
