1 ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS (RCA) Sylvia Hyland, BScPhm Julie Greenall, BScPhm
2 Medication Error Response I should have read the label. This has not happened before. This is unlikely to happen again. Physician who reported a medication error
3 Medication Error Response Thank you for helping me fulfill my moral obligation to the patient s family - my promise to the patient s wife to share the information with others so that steps can be taken to try to prevent the same error from happening again. Physician who reported a medication error
4 The definition of an error is that it is unintended.
5 Need to Believe: Each human error must have a preceding cause. (The discovery that a human has erred does little to aid the prevention process)
6 It s not the error that is the treasure. It s the underlying cause that is the treasure. Example: Tb syringe
7 Cause implies no assignment of blame. Refers to a relationship, or potential relationship between certain factors that enable a sentinel event to occur.
8 The outcome of the reporting and analysis process must generate a win win win win situation for the hospital, patient and health care professional and other hospitals, patients and professionals.
9 Root Cause Analysis Case Example: Solu-Medrol Depo-Medrol
10 Why did this child receive the wrong drug? Incorrect medication dispensed by nursing supervisor. Look-alike/sound-alike drug names. Lack of staff familiarity with Solu-Medrol and Depo-Medrol due to infrequent use. Poor warning labelling on the product
11 Why was the incorrect medication dispensed? Lack of drug knowledge on the part of the nursing supervisor. Look-alike/sound-alike drug names. Products stored beside each other in Pharmacy but Depo-Medrol brand name product and Solu-Medrol generic product. Only size of Solu-Medrol available in hospital was 1 gram vials. Poor warning labelling on product. Lack of weekend/after hours pharmacy service.
12 Extra safety checks completed: Dose of medication double checked with children s hospital. Drug name double checked in CPS.
13 Additional Contributing Factors: ER department extremely busy. Supervisor had been tied up most of the day dealing with staffing issues. Supervisors have commented that they are often filling medications on the run.
14 What are the root causes (i.e. most responsible causes)? Lack of weekend/after hours pharmacy coverage. Poor warning labelling on product.
15 What actions were taken as a result of this error? Supplementary IM use only labels affixed to all vials & boxes of Depo-Medrol. Manufacturer notified of incident and requested to consider labelling changes. alert to all pharmacists in region. Error reported to ISMP Canada and published. Policy change was made to clearly require full disclosure of clinically significant errors to patients/families. Proposal submitted to provide weekend pharmacy service.
16 Additional complicating factors (small hospital issues): The nurse who administered the dose was a personal friend of the child s mother. One of the hospital pharmacy technicians was a relative of the child.
17 Some things that went well: Once the error was discovered, immediate steps were taken to assess the potential for harm by contacting the children s hospital and the drug manufacturer. The Chief of ER was also the family physician and a member of the hospital medication incident review committee. The error was disclosed to the family in a timely way. Hospital administration was supportive of publishing the error through ISMP Canada.
18 We must never let good enough be good enough. We must be relentless in our pursuit of finding ways to improve our systems. VA hospital website
19 What is Root Cause Analysis (RCA)? Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a technique most commonly used after an incident has occurred in order to identify underlying causes. Reference: Root Cause Analysis in Healthcare: Tools and Techniques, Joint Commission Resources
20 What is Root Cause Analysis (RCA)? A systematic process of investigating a critical incident or an adverse outcome to determine the multiple, underlying contributing factors. The analysis focuses on identifying the latent conditions that underlie variation in performance and, if applicable, developing recommendations for improvements to decrease the likelihood of a similar incident in the future. Reference: The Canadian Patient Safety Dictionary October 2003.
21 What is a Root Cause? A cause may be identified as a set of actions, circumstances or conditions.
22 Things to keep in mind: Action errors follow the principle of least effort. Dr. John Senders
23 Need to Answer the Question: What should we do to prevent this in the future? NOT What should we have done to prevent this from having occurred?
24 Things to keep in mind: There is an infinite number of equipotent causes. The absence of any one may preclude the error event. Dr. John Senders
25 Picture a Tree
26 Proximate Causes Superficial Obvious (apparent) Immediately precede Underlying Causes Causes that lead to the proximate causes Remote Predisposing factor
27 FMEA and RCA are mirror images.
28 Canada: 3 reports 2 hosp 1 ambulance US 1 death
29 Worksheet Proximate Causes Underlying Causes Water for inj. /water for irrig. - backorder - same product - less expensive/ one item In Central Supply: storage - catalogue categorized with IV solutions as IV - label on shelf incorrect Placed in wrong area in patient - similar packaging/labelling room and then administered without detection.

32 A Root Cause Analysis needs: To involve the right people Leadership representatives, and Individuals closely involved in process and system under review. Consultants/experts (e.g. purchasing) Interdisciplinary To continually dig deeper ask why at each level of cause and effect To include consideration of relevant literature To be thorough Time
33 A Thorough and Credible RCA Clear Accurate Precise Relevant Complete Systematic Possess depth Should Be: Possess breadth of scope
34
35 Conducting a RCA and Developing an Action Plan Define the team (small groups and individuals for consultation) Define the problem exactly Study the problem Determine what exactly happened Identify proximate and underlying causes Confirm the causes through consultation Explore and identify risk reduction strategies Formulate recommendations/actions Consider Human Factors and FMEA before changes
36 Report to Senior Management Event description Scope of analysis (team members and consultants / methods) Proximate causes Underlying (root) causes Improvement actions and follow-up plan
37 A product of a RCA is an Should include: Action Plan Responsibility for implementation, Oversight, Pilot testing if needed, Time lines, Effectiveness measurement.
38 The causative factor may be beyond an organization s control, however, in most cases, protection of patients from the effects of the uncontrollable factor can be addressed as a risk reduction strategy.
