- [Many Why’s Of A Failing Root Cause Analysis In Healthcare](https://partnersconsultants.com/many-whys-of-a-failing-root-cause-analysis-in-healthcare): Healthcare professionals regularly come across a situation of ‘incident investigation’ in their workplace. When the incidents are categorized as sentinel or serious events, it requires in-depth analysis using approved methodologies like RCA (Root Cause Analysis). Cause analysis tools such as ‘5 Why’s are used for conducting a root cause analysis.

- [Harm Or No Harm?](https://partnersconsultants.com/harm-or-no-harm): Dealing with clinical adverse events is an essential medical liability for policy makers, regulatory authorities, health institutions and clinical staff. (WHO) estimates that of out of 421 million hospitalizations globally each year, more than 42 million patients will suffer an adverse event. The science of patient safety may get complex if incident evaluator failed to understand the thin line between possible clinical outcomes and unanticipated outcome, which leads to long battle and disputes among medical staff and others involved.

Have you ever wondered why incident reporting rates at times reduce drastically or don’t improve after all your attempts of campaigning ‘non punitive’ culture of Safety? Here are few observations during my accreditation journey in past couple of years. Do not turn reporting form as an investigation tool: An incident report format can only be as good as the information fed into it by the reporter.
