Some results of the implementation of a new support tool for automated hazard analysis are presented in this paper. We describe in detail the further progresses on the application of intelligent systems to the hazard analysis and especially to the HAZOP and FMEA analysis. A previously developed program, that allows the automatic generation of the report of the HAZOP analysis as regards the dete...

Limitations in scope but also difficulties with the efficiency and scalability of present algorithms seem to have so far limited the industrial uptake of existing automated FMEA technology. In this paper, we describe a new tool for the automatic synthesis of FMEAs which builds upon our earlier work on fault tree synthesis. The tool constructs FMEAs from engineering diagrams (e.g. developed in M...

Nowadays safety at workstations is so important for managers and they try to ensure that workstations meet minimum requirements. There are some research about using FMEA (Failure mode and effects analysis) to increase the safety at work especially in food industries and hospitals, but all of them have concentrated on safety in special points of view and they are not applicable for all fields. I...

Background and Objectives: Surgical cancelation is a significant source of time and resource waste, patient safety risk, and stress for patients and their families. In this study, a risk management-based approach is developed to prioritize factors contributing to surgical cancellation. Methods: Factors leading to surgical cancellation were comprehensively classified based on literature review...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To assess and improve the safety of hospital-based adult chemotherapy administration. DESIGN Prospective, systems-focused clinical risk assessment. SETTING An adult inpatient and outpatient oncology unit in a large urban hospital in the United Kingdom. SAMPLE 8-person nurse-led multidisciplinary team, which included managerial staff and patient safety researchers. MET...

In this study, failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), a proactive tool, was applied to reduce errors associated with the process which begins with assessment of patient and ends with treatment of complications. The aim of this study is to assess whether FMEA implementation will significantly reduce the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in intensive care unit.The FM...

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for procedure analyses and risk assessment. It is a structured way to identify potential failure modes of a product or process, probability of their occurrence, and their overall effects. The basic purpose of this analysis is to mitigate the risk and the impact associated to a failure by planning and prioritizing actions to make a ...
