Identifying Organizational Failures in Emergency General Surgical Admissions in the United Kingdom: A Healthcare Failure Mode Effect Analysis

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2014
METHODS: Using publicly reported 2009-2011 data from Hospital Compare, we identified all 144 outlier hospitals with statistically better or worse FTR performance than the national average. Among these, we performed 7 case studies at hospitals that were purposively sampled such that they varied in size, teaching status, and patient population.

Use of Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) to Quantify Risks of the Human Milk Feeding Process

Journal of Nursing Care Quality, 2014
The complexity of the expressed breast milk feeding process in the neonatal intensive care unit was not fully appreciated until we used a healthcare failure mode and effect analysis. This approach identified latent risks and provided semiquantitative estimates of the effectiveness of recommendations.
