Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Monday, June 20, 2016

Location: Regional Paramedic Program for Eastern Ontario,
2475 Don Reid Drive, Room 160A,
Ottawa, ON K1H 1E2

This full-day workshop provides healthcare practitioners with background theory and hands-on practice in prospective risk assessment using failure mode and eects analysis (FMEA)

Prospective Risk Assessment Using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

The workshop curriculum is derived from the Canadian Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Framework Version II (2016).

Program Abstract:

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a technique used to identify process and product problems before they occur.

Through interactive group work, participants will learn how to diagram a process, how to identify potential failures, and how to redesign processes with consideration of human factors principles to decrease the likelihood of a failure impacting a patient.

FMEA is a team-based, structured process. It is forward-looking, in contrast to the retrospective approach of incident analysis and techniques such as root cause analysis. FMEA is based on the premise that all systems and processes contain embedded system failures.

Dates: June 20, 2016 from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm
Location: Regional Paramedic Program for Eastern Ontario
