Incident Analysis and Proactive Risk Assessment for Paramedicine
A Live Virtual Workshop for Paramedics
Thursday, September 9 and Friday, September 10, 2021
Registration is full
* Health Sciences North Centre for Prehospital Care has pre-approved this workshop for 10 CME credits! *
* Southwest Ontario Regional Base Hospital Program has pre-approved this workshop for 10 CME credits! *
This virtual hands-on workshop teaches paramedics how to use Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to understand human factors engineering and why errors occur on Day 1. On the second day, participants use a technique called Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to do proactive risk assessment and redesign processes that reduce the likelihood of adverse events.
Day 1:
Incident Analysis - Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Program Abstract:
We’re all human – errors happen. In our field, when errors happen, they can have traumatic consequences. In this hands-on workshop, we will analyze adverse events in a way that takes the blame away from the individual and evaluates them using a systematic approach. “What was the expected outcome and why did that not happen?” On Day 1, participants will learn how to conduct a Root Cause Analysis and we’ll use diagramming to deconstruct and understand how adverse events occur.
Day 2:
Proactive Risk Assessment Using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Program Abstract:
Day 2 builds on the principles learned on Day 1, with a change in focus to proactive risk assessment and process redesign. What do we know about system failures and how can we identify problems before they occur? Through interactive activities, participants will use a technique called Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to design processes that take human factors into account and decrease the likelihood of a failure impacting a patient.

Incident Analysis and Proactive Risk Assessment for Paramedicine
This workshop provides paramedicine healthcare practitioners with background theory and hands-on practice in incident analysis (root cause analysis, RCA) and proactive risk assessment using failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
Day 1:
Incident Analysis - Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Learning Objectives for RCA:
In the RCA portion of the workshop, participants will learn:
- How systems theory and human factors principles impact error potential and solution development,
- Why it is important to consider the full incident management continuum,
- How to complete a system-based analysis, and
- How to redesign systems for safety.
Day 2:
Proactive Risk Assessment Using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Learning Objectives for FMEA:
On completion of the FMEA portion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify processes suitable for analysis using FMEA,
- Describe the steps required to complete an FMEA,
- Map out a process and identify potential failure modes,
- Develop redesign strategies based on systems theory and basic human factors principles, and
- Apply principles learned to support medication safety activities in their practice setting.
What do you need?
To attend a virtual workshop, you will need the following:
- Computer with internet connection, speakers, webcam and microphone
- Computer printer, if available but not required
Materials that will be provided to you electronically are:
- Canadian Incident Analysis Framework
- Canadian Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Framework
- Workshop handouts
- Workshop references
