OVERVIEW: In 2015, Ochsner Health System embarked on a journey to change the way they conduct Root Cause Analyses. In this presentation, Claire Campbell will share the basics of conducting a RCA² as well as Ochsner’s journey, through the implementation of the new Root Cause Analysis and Action Model (RCA²). This new model for RCA addressed many of the barriers previously experienced, provided the tools to create a more sustainable model and has helped foster engagement with the RCA process. Campbell will share Ochsner’s successes and challenges with RCA² and where they are today in their journey.

OBJECTIVES:

At the conclusion of the meeting, participants should be able to:

• Define a Culture of Safety and the role it plays in a successful implementation of the RCA² process;
• Define the tools required for a successful implementation of RCA² and engagement at all levels of the organization; and

• Participate as a member of an RCA² team, or possibly even be the lead facilitator of an RCA² team

CONFIDENTIALITY: 

The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act empowers providers to share information about quality by providing them privacy rights, similar to the privacy right for patients under HIPAA. The privacy right is made secure through penalties that are administered through the Office of Civil Rights.

What Is a LAPS PSO Safe Table Session?

Available exclusively to LAPS PSO members, safe tables provide a forum for LAPS PSO members to network and exchange best practices and discuss patient safety and quality experiences in an open, uninhibited and legally-protected environment. Most importantly, safe table sessions help build a strong and supportive quality care community where collective learning is valued and collegial relationships are supported and encouraged. These sessions are legally-protected under the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005, which allow healthcare providers to convene and have open dialogue about patient safety and quality issues. Because this is an entirely protected forum, all attendees will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement upon arrival at the meeting (provided at the registration table). All information shared will remain confidential and privileged.
