ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the application value of RCA analysis method in improving the management of medical equipment-related near-miss events in ICU. Methods The ICU of a hospital in Xi'an used the RCA analysis method to analyze the medical equipment-related near-miss events. Firstly, the proximal causes of the medical equipment-related near-miss events were found out, and the root causes were found through brainstorming. Then, corresponding improvement measures were formulated according to the root causes, and the implementation of improvement measures were supervised. The management effects before and after the implementation of RCA analysis were compared and analyzed. Results After the implementation of RCA analysis improvement measures, in the statistics of the incidence of medical equipment-related near-miss events, the incidence of incomplete equipment accessories, the incidence of equipment self-test failure and the incidence of equipment alarm failure were significantly lower than those before the implementation of improvement measures (c2=5.701, c2=5.128, c2=6.652; P<0.05). Conclusions RCA analysis method can significantly reduce the incidence of medical equipment-related near-miss events, so as to reduce the incidence of medical equipment-related adverse events. It can also improve the management quality of ICU departments and improve patients' satisfaction with inpatient services. RCA analysis can improve the management effect of medical equipment-related near-miss events in ICU. It is a scientific and effective medical activity management tool, and it has high application and promotion value in the management of near-miss events in hospitals.
