Reducing failures in daily medical practice: Healthcare failure mode and effect analysis combined with computer simulation [PDF]
This study proposes a risk analysis approach for complex healthcare processes that combines qualitative and quantitative methods to improve patient safety. We combine Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis with Computer Simulation (HFMEA-CS), to overcome widely recognised HFMEA drawbacks regarding the reproducibility and validity of the outcomes ...

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 ...
