Destini Harper Week 7 Analysis Questions-Tuesday Healthcare Quality & Risk Management Professor Hatch 26 February 2024 Week 6 Analysis Questions-Thursday 1. FMEA as risk identification a. Is FMEA ( failure mode and effect analysis )more aligned with systems or persons approach to accident causation? i. FMEA is more aligned with a systems approach because it deals with people analyzing the steps to the process in order to catch failure modes. FMEA is systematic tool used for identifying potential problems and their impact. b. Compare and contrast similarities and differences between FMEA and RCA. When is each used? i. FMEA is different from RCA because with FMEA ( Failure Mode and effect analysis) it is set up to identify and address possible problems and their effects on the system before an adverse event occurs, FMEA is a more rigorous process, whereas with RCA (Root Cause Analysis) that system is set up to address and fix issues after they occur. Both include the process of collecting data, and analyzing that data to find the root cause of the problem and come up with a potential solution. The join c. Define process FMEA and give a relevant healthcare example i. Process FMEA is a methodological approach used for identifying risks on process changes. Process FMEA identifies process functions, failure modes and their effects on the process. 1. An example of a Process FMEA is a medical facility having an issue with properly filling medications, which could lead to fatal, harmful, wrong-dose, or wrong drug medication errors. d. Define Design FMEA ans give a relevant healthcare example i. Design FMEA is a methodological approach used for identifying potential risks introduced in a new change or changed design of a product or service 1. An example of a design FMEA is assessing where new medical equipment will go in a patient’s room, without blocking adequate space for a patient to easily move in their room. e. Are process and design FMEA always separate in healthcare? Why or why not? i. I would say process and design FMEA are not always separate in healthcare because FMEA is a valuable tool for organizations seeking problem-solving techniques and improvements. It enhances system robustness and fault tolerance. Organizations should conduct proactive analysis when adding or changing processes, incorporating patient and resident risk info for proper risk evaluation.

f. Be able to discuss how you choose a topic to analyze with FMEA. How will you do this in your organization? i. In my organization, I would discuss choosing a topic to analyze with FMEA by analyzing and doing research on the previous events reported and look into what is causing those events and then use the FMEA process to rectify the situation g. Once you have selected a process, what should happen before you move to the team selection process? Explain. i. The FMEA topic that is chose, should be a vulnerable area with a clear and detailed description and the team should consist of high quality workers keeping specific factors in mind when analyzing the process. The joint commission looks for organizations to do a pre-loss analysis, and before moving forward, they make sure everyone has a strong knowledge of the criteria being analyzed for the process. The best way to choose a team is to choose people from different departments. h. Documentation of the FMEA process can be burdensome. Discuss the importance of documentation in the FMEA process i. It is important to document in the FMEA process because the FMEA is a process documenting tool that can monitor performance. It can be personalized for specific situations and used to optimze the value of data. 2. Explain the difference between the ideal and actual version of a process. Which one is best to use in the FMEA? Explain. a. The actual version of a process is more permanent, where an ideal process is used for specific purposes/ situations. The actual version of a process is best to use in the FMEA because actual processes identify the ways a process can go wrong and identify the vulnerabilities in that process.This is useful for the FMEA because people use the FMEA to find vulnerabilities in the process, thus helping people create a fault-tolerant system. 3. Edit the sentence for word count and substance: a. It is vital to train our staff in the importance of MCare’s Act 13’s patient safety requirements, and to make sure everyone accepts their mandatory responsibility. i. Everyone must be trained on the importance and requirements of Mcare’s Act 13 to ensure patient safety. 4. Prepare two questions about the FMEA Class Exercise to be conducted on Tuesday and Thursday a. How does our example relate to what medical workers do when going through the FMEA process? b. Can we use the FMEA process in areas beyond healthcare? If so, is the process still the same or does it differ depending on the situation? 5. Edit this sentence for word count and substance: a. Re-evaluation of our event reporting system and establishment of healthcare worker compliance is vital i. Event reporting evaluations are vital to patient safety.
