Root Cause Analysis of a Case Study Alice Holliday Western Governors University Organizational Systems and Quality Leadership RTT1 Root Cause Analysis of a Case Study Healthcare presents numerous opportunities for patients to be helped by healthcare personnel. Unfortunately, there are also numerous opportunities for patients to be failed by healthcare personnel. When patients are failed by healthcare personnel, it is required by the Joint Commission for hospitals to carry out a Root Cause Analysis in order to understand the systems within the organization that failed so that improvements can be made and the failures can be prevented from happening in the future. (Cherry & Jacob, 2011) This paper will describe how a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) can be used following the death of a patient, and how Change Theory and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) can be utilized to come up with ways to prevent the failure from being repeated. A. Root Cause Analysis A Root Cause Analysis is an organized process used to determine the processes that lead to sentinel events.

The article provided a clear understanding of how and where the data was collected, and the tool used to obtain the data used for analysis.
