Root cause analysis (RCA) is a vital tool to assess errors and prevent their recurrence. However, many have identified limitations to traditional RCAs. This study found that when RCA was adapted into a simulation format and compared to traditional RCA, simulation participants identified novel sources of error as well as creative solutions.
