Expires: Mar 01, 2022

Accreditation:
This Course has been approved for a maximum of 2 CEs Credits.

Description:
Within the past several years there has been an increased emphasis on how complex systems may contribute to diagnostic and treatment failures. When some tragedy occurs such as suicide or violent behavior, the tendency is to pick someone out as a scapegoat. Root Cause analysis seeks to avoid this scapegoating by analyzing the system failures that lead to these unfortunate outcomes. Participants will learn the elements of how to perform a root cause analysis.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
• Identify the essentials of Root Cause Analysis
• Identify the process of analyzing systemic errors
• Identify how to substitute root cause analysis for “finger pointing”
• Identify the major settings in which system failures occur
• Identify the nature of Diagnostic Negligence
