A
hospital has identified nonrandom variations in medical errors. These errors
are directly related to patient falls.
Draw a flow
chart showing under what circumstances a patient might fall. Assume that a
process improvement team has identified several causes of patient falls.
Construct a
cause-and-effect diagram showing the potential causes of falls. What
conclusions can you draw from this?
Develop a
Pareto diagram to prioritize the causes of falls for planning to solve the
problem. What strategies can be used to reduce patient falls?
