a. Hospital A routinely reviews and updates policies and procedures every
2 years
b. Hospital B routinely studies close calls
c. Hospital C routinely provides trainings on the use of newly introduced
medical equipment
, d. Hospital D routinely utilizes control charting to report safety
performance
You have been asked to present an overview of safety events to the board of trustees.
IN order to best represent safety issues, you should:
Give this one a try later!
a. highlight system-wide improvements that have been implemented in the
past year
b. Present cases of harm with contributing root causes and actions taken
c. display a graph of the numbers and types of safety events reported in
the past year
d. Lead an open discussion of board members' safety concerns and
recommendations
A new medication administrative safety process was implemented in a hospital. A
team convened to perform a failure mode effects analysis and calculate a risk priority
number (RPN). After a targeted medication safety program on the new process was
delivered to nurses, the same team convened to perform another FMEA. The team
would be happy to see:

a. The detectability increased and RPNs were lower
b. The detectability decreased and RPNs were lower
c. The frequency numbers decreased and RPNs were higher
d. The frequency numbers increased and RPNs were lower
