Root Cause Analysis and FMEA
8 Contact Hours - 2 Days
Overview This highly interactive, dynamic, and comprehensive workshop is designed to equip participants with the advanced tools to systematically find the root cause of problems, prevent them from reoccurring and to improve the safety of the workplace by detecting the possible cause of failures/risks before occurrence.
By applying these tools in health care, participants will learn to mitigate the risks and identify the root cause of the problem. This workshop brings that wealth of experience to the classroom so you can learn and practice root cause analysis skills and FMEA to make an immediate impact back on the job and improve the organization’s performance.
This training will offer new ways to view and address challenges in healthcare such as prioritizing issues, effective problem-solving methods, implementing solutions, sharpening practical communication skills and process improvements.
In addition, participants will be engaged in a learn- do approach.
