Presented by Robert J. Latino, CEO of Reliability Center, Inc. Learn an effective methodology for starting and completing your RCA analysis. We will clearly demonstrate in class, quantifiable results and tie them to the bottom-line for reviewing by the "C" suite executives and Medicare Surveyors.

• Review the Role of an ACO Correlating to Effective Root Cause Analysis

• Contrasting Proactive RCA versus Reactive RCA

• Quantifying Risk for Effective Root Cause Analyses

• Defining "Effectiveness" of an RCA and its impacts on patient safety and Bottom-Line Growth

• How to construct, perform and deliver a Root Cause Analysis - with or without software


This session will explore how organizations can utilize their newly learned skills in RCA proactively rather than reactively. Students will learn how to couple the use of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as a risk assessment tool with RCA. Recognizing the larger risks can be further analyzed using RCA - thus preventing the consequence and not rapidly responding to it. These skills will be critical to improving patient care while also ensuring profitability.
