Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) may enhance implementation of clinical practice guidelines: An experience from the Middle East

Abstract

In our experience, FMEA could be a useful tool to enhance CPGI. It helped us to identify potential barriers and prepare relevant solutions.

Adapting evidence‐based clinical practice guidelines at university teaching hospitals: A model for the Eastern Mediterranean Region

“…Two tools were proposed to be used in the pre‐implementation phase, the Guidelines Implementability Assessment Instrument (GLIA) and one of the QI tools, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) …”

Targeting specimen misprocessing safety events with failure modes and effects analysis

“…For advanced users, FMEA is constructed in a manner that is intended for reiteration and return. The optional last step of the tool is to monitor the new RPN calculations after the implementation of quality improvement initiatives to assess quantitative risk reduction …”

Perception, attitude, and satisfaction of paediatric physicians and nurses towards clinical practice guidelines at a university teaching hospital

“…One of the well‐known QI tools, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, was utilized to identify and address the potential barriers to CPG implementation . The results of the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis recommended multiple actions to be taken to enhance the CPGI including (1) regular audit and feedback, (2) improving the CPG adaptation process, (3) networking with existing projects, (4) regular training and education, (5) accessible point of care resources, and (6) engagement of senior health care providers and stakeholders in CPG adaptation and implementation projects . This study was used to inform the CPGI planning in the Paediatrics Department as well as other departments.…”
