Expanding healthcare failure mode and effect analysis: A composite proactive risk analysis approach [PDF]
Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) is a systematic risk assessment method derived from high risk industries to prospectively examine complex healthcare processes. Like most methods, HFMEA has strengths and weaknesses. In this paper we provide a review of HFMEA's limitations and we introduce an expanded version of traditional HFMEA ...
