Dates: June 22-23, 2023 OR September 14-25, 2023

This virtual hands-on workshop teaches paramedics how to use Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to understand human factors engineering and why errors occur on Day 1. On the second day, participants use a technique called Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to do proactive risk assessment and redesign processes that reduce the likelihood of adverse events.
Day 1: Incident Analysis – Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
In this hands-on workshop, we will analyze adverse events in a way that takes the blame away from the individual and evaluates them using a systematic approach.
Day 2: Proactive Risk Assessment Using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Day 2 builds on the principles learned on Day 1, with a change in focus to proactive risk assessment and process redesign. Through interactive activities, participants will use FMEA to design processes that take human factors into account and decrease the likelihood of a failure impacting a patient.
This workshop is pre-approved for 10 CME points from Health Sciences North Centre for Prehospital Care for the 2023 cycle. Please submit your certificates through PPO to obtain your credits.
