Description Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an ongoing quality improvement process that is carried out in healthcare organizations by a multidisciplinary team. Unlike root cause analysis (RCA), which is carried out retrospectively in response to a sentinel event, FMEA is a proactive process that acknowledges that errors are inevitable and predictable. It anticipates errors and designs a system that will minimize their impact. FMEA might reveal that an error is tolerable or that the error will be intercepted by the system of checks and balances that is part of a health system's quality improvement system.

Why should Attend The problem with The Joint Commission requirement is that everyone knows something about risk management but few people know how to properly use tools such as FMEA. It is unlikely and impractical to require every hospital to acquire this expertise.
