Workshop Details:

The workshop begins with an overview of the system approach in the management of error and introduction to human factors engineering principles. Root cause analysis (RCA) is a tool to help investigate adverse events and critical incidents in healthcare, identify and analyze root causes and contributing factors, and develop recommendations. Participants will learn how to conduct an RCA through interactive exercises and group work. The workshop will cover diagramming to support incident analysis, identification of contributing factor, summarizing the findings and developing and implementing recommended actions.

Learning Objectives:

1. How systems theory and human factors principles impact error potential and solution development;
