Common Cause Analysis Training: Problem Solving through Aggregation
During this one-day live virtual training, causal analysis experts will cover concepts, techniques, and strategies that will help participants understand how to perform a common cause analysis. Common cause analysis involves understanding and recognizing patterns of variation that are inherent to a system. This is achieved by analyzing RCAs or safety event data over time to identify and aggregate common causes. Key concepts include systems theory, common cause analysis techniques and tools, aggregation of acts and causes, risk prioritization, and developing corrective actions. This training will engage the audience in an interactive learning opportunity that blends didactic presentations by subject matter experts and group case study reviews and exercises.
CCA is a method used to identify and analyze patterns and common factors that contribute to patient safety events/near misses. Concepts including systems analysis, data collection and aggregation, and taxonomy creation will be covered in an engaging, interactive format. By employing CCA, organizations can move beyond treating symptoms and address the fundamental issues that contribute to recurring problems. This approach helps to develop more effective and sustainable solutions to improve overall system performance.
