DESCRIPTION:
When a serious patient safety event (such as a sentinel event) occurs, it is critical for the health care organization to understand the system failures or defects that contributed to that event and The Joint Commission requires a comprehensive systematic analysis be performed. The book includes examples that guide the reader through application of root cause analysis to the investigation of specific types of sentinel events, such as medication errors, suicide, treatment delay, and elopement. For ease of access and use by root cause analysis teams, practical checklists and worksheets are offered in each chapter.
