Análisis causal integrado en la radiosinoviortesis y el tratamiento mielosupresor de la policitemia vera / Integrated causal analysis in radiosynoviorthesis and the myelosupressor treatment of polycythemia vera

Introducción: Con la matriz de riesgo se identifican las medidas de control relevantes. El análisis de modos y efectos de fallo posterga definir la efectividad de las medidas correctivas. El uso de uno solo de estos métodos limita el alcance al evaluar los riesgos y la toma de decisiones. Objetivos: Determinar la contribución individual de las causas básicas de fallo en el riesgo radiológico de la radiosinoviortesis y el tratamiento mielosupresor de la policitemia vera, a partir del modelo de la matriz y los reportes. Métodos: Se adaptó el análisis de la gestión de la calidad en radioterapia a las prácticas en estudio y la selección individual de las causas básicas más contribuyentes al riesgo radiológico. La base internacional de incidentes aportó las causas que completaron el listado de las derivadas de la aplicación del principio de Pareto. Resultados: Los subprocesos más contribuyentes al riesgo fueron, por orden de importancia, la administración del radiofármaco, su preparación y la prescripción clínica. Para estos se identificaron las etapas, modos de fallo y sus causas más importantes. Existieron causas que contribuyeron a varios modos de fallo. El incumplimiento de procedimientos, protocolos o prácticas, la falta de entrenamiento del personal y la fatiga del personal son las causas de los riesgos identificados. Conclusiones: Se caracterizó la efectividad de las medidas correctivas de las causas más contribuyentes, las que se adicionan a las derivadas de la matriz, en el plan de mejora en la radiosinoviortesis y el tratamiento mielosupresor de la policitemia vera en Cuba(AU)

Introduction: The risk matrix identifies the relevant control measures. Failure modes and effects analysis postpones defining the effectiveness of corrective measures. Using just one of these methods limits the scope when assessing risks and making decisions. Objectives: To determine the individual contribution of the basic causes of failure in the radiological risk of radiosynoviorthesis and the myelosupressor treatment of polycythemia vera, based on the matrix model and the reports. Methods: The analysis of quality management in radiotherapy was adapted to the practices under study and the individual selection of the basic causes most contributing to radiological risk. The international incident base provided the causes that completed the list of those derived from the application of the Pareto principle. Results: The sub-processes that contributed the most to risk were, in order of importance, the administration of the radiopharmaceutical, its preparation and the clinical prescription. For these, the most important, stages, failure modes and their causes were identified. There were causes that contributed to various failure modes. Non-compliance with procedures, protocols or practices, lack of staff training and staff fatigue are the causes of the identified risks. Conclusions: The effectiveness of the corrective measures of the most contributing causes, which are added to those derived from the matrix, was characterized in the improvement plan in radiosynoviorthesis and myelosupressor treatment of polycythemia vera in Cuba(AU)

Root causes analysis of medical safety (adverse) events and counter measures research / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To analyze characters and causes of medical safety (adverse) events and to propose corresponding countermeasures.Methods 322 medical safety events in some tertiary hospitals were analyzed by using the root causes analysis method.Results Identifying errors,medical defects,medicine mistakes were the top 3 events possessed 16.77％ (54/322),16.15％ (52/322),13.98％ (45/322);The top 3 departments were Neurology,General surgery,Oncology which possessed 9.63％ (31/322),7.45％ (24/322),7.14％ (23/322).Medical staff with a title of middle and highly were involved in possessed 33.23％ (107/322),25.78％ (83/322),and nursing staff was the top one possessed 56.83％ (183/322).Night working shift was the maximum occurrence time possessed 39.75％ (128/322).The top 3 medical acts which more easier to trigger medical adverse events were incomprehensive nursing care,irregular operation of diagnosis and treatment,clinical supervision defect which possessed 17.39％ (56/322),15.84％ (51/322),15.22％ (49/322).The slight consequence case was the top one possessed 47.20％ (152/322).Resolving the dispute by consultation between hospital and patient was the main way possessed 82.26％ (51/62).Conclusions More attentions should be paied to supervision of some certain department management and key sections,and improve the professional technical level,do preventive construction systems about medical safety (adverse) as well as emergency event handling construction mechanism by consummate supporting system and effective staff arrangement.
