Group 5: Covid Outbreak in long term care

EACH GROUP WILL make A SCENARIO BASED ON THE TYPE OF ERROR such as Covid Outbreak in long term care. THIS IS A GROUP WORK SO DIVIDE EACH ACTIVITY AMONG EVERY MEMBER FOLLOW ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS BELOW AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IF APPLICABLE. YOU NEED TO BRAINSTORM TO ARRIVE AT A COLLECTIVE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM.

Review Of Root Cause Analyses and Action Plans

A root cause analysis will be considered acceptable if it has the following characteristics:

• The analysis focuses primarily on systems and processes, not on individual performance.
• The analysis progresses from special causes in clinical processes to common causes In organizational processes.
• The analysis repeatedly digs deeper by asking "Why? then, when answered, "Why?" again, and so on...
• The analysis identifies changes that could be made in systems and processes (either through redesign or development Of new systems or processes) that would reduce the risk Of such events occurring in the future.

The analysis is thorough and credible. To be thorough, the root cause analysis must include the following:

• A determination of the human and other factors most directly associated with the sentinel event and the process(es) and systems related to its occurrence.
• An analysis Of the underlying systems and processes through a series Of "Why?" questions to determine where redesign might reduce risk.
• An identification of risk points and their potential contributions to this type Of event.
• A determination Of potential improvement in processes or systems that would tend to decrease the likelihood of such events in the future, or a determination, after analysis, that no explanation for all findings of "not applicable" or "no problem" includes consideration Of any relevant literature.

What's included in a Root Cause Analysis?

A root cause analysis template, also known as a root cause corrective action template, typically contains the following information:

Event description: The problem or accident being investigated is described in as much detail as possible. This includes the date and time of the event, what happened, who uncovered the problem, and who was impacted by the problem (as well as how they were affected).

Timeline: This section includes a thorough description of all events before, during, and after the problem or accident occurred. This can help uncover potential underlying causes of the incident if applicable. Dates, times, and names Of all parties involved are included here.

Investigative Team/Method: This section identifies the team that will be responsible for investigating the problem, what methods they will use for collecting and analyzing data, and how their findings will be reported. This is where you put the names Of each group member.

Findings/Root Cause: The investigative team reports their findings and describes the root cause they have identified.

Corrective Action and Preventive Action: The action(s) that must be taken to correct the problemand ensure it doesn't happen againis written here. These actions can result in project scope, schedule, and budget changes.
