This best-selling book is designed to help health care organizations meet JCAHO's failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) requirement. Proactive identification and management of potential risks to patient safety have the obvious advantage of preventing adverse occurrences, rather than simply reacting when they occur.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis in Health Care: Proactive Risk Reduction, Second Edition, is designed to help health care organizations meet Joint Commission requirements by using failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to proactively identify and manage potential risks in all processes of various health care settings.

By utilizing this process, health care professionals can continue to provide a systematic approach toward the development and implementation of proactive risk assessment and management activities so that patient care, treatment, and service processes can be designed or redesigned to prevent failure.

A CD-ROM is included that contains tools you can use. A CD is included with this new edition that contains an explanation of how the FMEA process works and serves as a convenient and interchangeable companion to the book. You now have easy access to essential methods and techniques you can use including real FMEA processes.

JCAHO's mission is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public through the provision of health care accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations. The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization, established more than 50 years ago. Joint Commission is governed by a board that includes physicians, nurses, and consumers. The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the US. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission is the nation's predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
