🗑
Peds risks   appropriate services and equipment; child abuse; patient safety; abduction  
🗑
Behavioral Health risk   failure to prevent suicide; outpatient ; restraints; psychopharmacology polypharmacy; electroconvulsive therapy; elopement; sexual assault; rights of others  
🗑
Radiology risks   management and avoidance of contrast media reactions or tissue damage from extravasation  
🗑
Home health risks   supervision; durable medical equipment; confidentiality of MR; security  
🗑
Physician Office setting risks   training; timeliness of appointments; patient tracking and diagnostic follow-up  
🗑
Long Term Care and Assisted Care risks   patient’s rights; staffing; abuse; slips/falls; pressure ulcers; elopement; restraints; documentation  
🗑
PCMH   Patient Centered Medical Home  
🗑
ACO   accountable care organization  
🗑
Taxonomy vs. Nomenclature   taxonomy: classifying of events (by category, by harm, etc.) vs. nomenclature: words used to describe bad outcomes (sentinel events, unanticipated outcomes, etc.)  
🗑
Culture of Safety definition   an integrated pattern of individual and organizational behaviors, based upon shared beliefs and values, that continuously seeks to minimize patient harm that may result from the processes of care delivery  
🗑
Culture of safety supports   a forum for an unencumbered discussion of events; willingness to go where you don’t know where you’re going to land  
🗑
Culture of Safety five stages of maturity   Pathological (no system); Reactive (piecemeal); Calculative (systematic approach, per event); Proactive (Comprehensive approach across organization); Generative (Meaningful safety culture central to mission)  
🗑
HRO   High Reliability Organizations; organizations that operate complex systems without mistakes over long periods of time  
🗑
HRO considerations   sensitivity to operations; preoccupation with failure; deference to expertise; resilience; reluctance to simplify  
🗑
Patient safety data deficiencies   Confusion about the use of the data; analyzing rare events vs. large segments of data; multiple data streams without a defined process on how to view the data; no central repository for patient safety data; surveillance bias  
🗑
Heuristics   mental shortcuts or cognitive bias  
🗑
Cognitive Bias categories   availability heuristic; anchoring heuristic; framing effects; blind obedience  
🗑
Availability heuristics   diagnosis made based on past experiences (e.g., patient incorrectly treated for GI upset despite presence of cardiac symptoms)  
🗑
Anchoring heuristic (premature closure)   diagnosis made from initial impression although not supported by subsequent data or information (e.g., initial set of cardiac enzymes negative so heart attack ruled out when patient had left arm pain)  
🗑
Framing effects   diagnosis unduly influenced by or prejudiced by collateral information (e.g., known drug addict diagnosed with overdose rather than stroke)  
🗑
Blind obedience   diagnosis made from undue reliance on lab results (e.g., false positive pregnancy test resulted in missed appendicitis)  
🗑
Cognitive slips   tend to occur in situations that are so routine that they have become rote  
🗑
Cognitive lapses   generally not visible because reflective of a memory failure  
🗑
Cognitive mistakes   judgment failures that are more subtle and complex than slips; go undetected for a period of time; left to differences of opinion when detected; can be knowledge based or rule based  
🗑
Swiss Cheese Model   model used in risk analysis likening human systems to multiple slices of swiss cheese, stacked side by side  
🗑
Sharp vs. Blunt End model   The person actually doing the task (e.g., nurse administering meds) is the sharp end of the system whereas the blunt end is the environment in which healthcare is delivered  
🗑
Contributing factors   team; individual staff; task; patient; work environment; organization and management; institutional context  
🗑
Patient safety influencers   public reporting; value based purchasing; healthcare reform and reimbursement; business intelligence; ROI (return on investment) business case

🗑
Typical time taken to do an RCA   minimum of 3 one hour meetings  
🗑
RPN   FMECA Risk Priority Number: occurrence x detection x severity  
🗑
Authority gradient   hierarchical  
🗑
Disclosure definition   the delivery of news to the patient or family they may not otherwise learn; not strictly related to medical error, nor necessarily to bad news  
🗑
Four Rs of Apology   Recognition (knowing when and apology is in order); Regret (responding empathetically); Responsibility (owning up to what has happened); Remedy (make it right)  
🗑
