It is estimated that between 44,000 and 98,000 patients die every year in the United States due to preventable medical mistakes. That statistic is startling. It is even more disturbing that more people die from medical errors than from traffic accidents, breast cancer or AIDS.
In November of 1999 the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine compiled a report on medical errors. The report set as a goal a 50 percent reduction in medical errors within the next five years.
We have developed Root Cause AnalystTM (RCA) to assist healthcare professionals withthis goal. RCA offers clinicians a tool by which to do proactive analyses that not only reduces errors, but also limits costs and saves time.
This software is the only automated root cause analysis product on the market that was designed specifically for the healthcare industry by healthcare quality specialists. Unlike other software applications, RCA is not a modification of a process originally created for engineering or other industries. Rather, experts in healthcare root cause analysis designed it for busy professionals who must participate in this important problem-solving process.
RCA may be used effectively in any situation where a root cause analysis is desirable, including sentinel events, adverse events or conditions, near misses or purely preventive or proactive analyses.
RCA offers healthcare practitioners an easy and cost efficient way to reduce medical errors while still enjoying the following benefits:
