Although root cause analysis of adverse events is a foundational patient safety activity, recent studies have demonstrated that it does not always lead to corrective action. Investigators added a standardized tool to identify corrective and preventive actions to their root cause analysis process. They found that the new tool led to identification of more corrective and preventive actions than the preexisting root cause analysis method used in a concurrent control group.
