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

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

The 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

Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis under Fuzziness

2011
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing or assembly process, or a product or service. Failures are prioritized according to how serious their consequences are, how frequently they occur and how easily they can be detected.

Evaluation and critique of Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis applied in a radiotherapy case study

Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries, 2012
AbstractHealthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA®) has been developed to support the proactive analysis of health care treatment processes. Its use has been reported in several studies with both positive and negative comments regarding the quality of the results and the efficacy of the method.

System Safety in Healthcare

Journal of System Safety, 2017
The objective of performing Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is to use sound risk management principles, coupled with innovative solutions that can assure high return on investment (ROI). Quality Guru Philip Crosby wrote in his book, Quality is Free, that quality is free if you do the right things at the right time.
