Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Understand the policy and legislative requirements of undertaking a Root Cause Analysis. Develop skills in conducting the RCA process.
The goal of the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) process is to find out what happened, why it happened, and to determine what can be done to prevent it from happening again.
This RCA training is being conducted as two, 3-hour virtual interactive sessions over two days. It will take you through all the steps to conduct an RCA for severe harm and frequent clinical incidents. The training will introduce you to systems thinking and focus on improving and redesigning systems and processes to prevent harm to future patients. A key aspect to be explored will be the relationship between the system of care and individual human performance to improve the effectiveness of recommendations.
This is a 6-hour training session, conducted across 2 days and is a total of 6 CPD points. (CPD points are a requirement for Australian healthcare professionals as part of the conditions of registration to practice in Australia, they may not be applicable to international attendees)
Please note: Registrations are made through Eventbrite, so when you select your chosen date you will be taken to the Eventbrite site to book.
