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.

More often a nursing assessment is based on the medical side of the patient rather than the holistic approach.
P2 and P3 Explain different psychological approaches to health and social practice Cognitive learning theorists believe that learning is an internal process in which information is combined into one as cognitive structure. Learning occurs through internal processing of information. One example of cognitive perspective that is used in healthcare practice can include supporting individuals that have learning difficulties. On a day to day basis, individuals with learning difficulties can find skilled tasks very difficult and confusing; because of this they are likely to get very frustrated.

According to Ulrich and Zimring there are 600 articles that explain that the healthcare design can influence patient outcomes are published. When a hospital has a stressful environment to the patient’s healing process with loud intercom systems and machinery, long hallways that echo, bland colors and cramped rooms, it contributes to the patients stress level.
