It is common to find more than just one root cause to a problem, so be skeptical if you just find one root cause to any problem. RCA can be pointed at any simple and complex problem but the designated problem solver…

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) and root cause analysis (RCA) are both tools used in healthcare to identify and reduce risks to patients. FMEA proactively identifies risks while RCA identifies the cause after an event has occurred. FMEAs were originally used in the engineering industry during new product design (Mulligan & Nechodom, 2008, p. 662) and over time were adopted into healthcare to reduce potential harm to patients. “FMEA involves a multidisciplinary team mapping out a…
