Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Under Fuzziness

Human and Ecological Risk Assessment (HERA), 2013
ABSTRACT 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. The purpose of the FMEA is to take actions to eliminate or reduce failures, starting with the highest-priority ones. This article presents a basis for prioritizing

A Review of Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (HFMEA) in Radiotherapy

Health Physics, 2016
This paper presents a review of risk analyses in radiotherapy (RT) processes carried out by using Healthcare Failure Mode Effect Analysis (HFMEA) methodology, a qualitative method that proactively identifies risks to patients and corrects medical errors before they occur.

Healthcare failure mode effect analysis of a miniaturized extracorporeal bypass circuit

Perfusion (United Kingdom), 2014
Background: The introduction of new and more advanced technology in healthcare occurs with an increasing speed. Therefore, more attention is needed for safety evaluation of new devices or techniques from an end-user perspective, especially when (inter-) national perfusion safety standards are lacking. A recently

On the need for revising healthcare failure mode and effect analysis for assessing potential for patient harm in healthcare processes

Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2016
Abstract Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis is a proactive, systematic method adapted from safety-critical industries increasingly used to assess the potential for patient harm in high-risk healthcare processes. In this paper we review and discuss this method. We point to some weaknesses and finally argue for two adjustments.

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 ...
