A structured approach to analyse logistics risks in the blood transfusion process
AbstractBlood transfusion is a critical health care process due to the nature of the products handled and the complexity driven by the strong interdependence among the sub ‐processes involved. Most of the errors causing adverse events originate during the blood logistics activities. Several literature contributions apply risk management to the transfusion process but often in a fragmented and reactive way. Moreover, few of them focus on logistics risks and assess th e effectiveness of risk responses through operational key performance indicators (KPIs). The present paper applies a comprehensive and structured approach to...

Implementing a human factors approach to RCA2: Tools, processes and strategies
We describe each of these tools and illustrate how they can be integrated into RCA2 to create a robust human factors RCA process called HFACS ‐RCA2. We also present qualitative results from an 18 ‐month implementation study within a large academic health center. Results demonstrate how HFACS‐RCA2 can foster a more comprehensive, human factors analysis of serious patient harm events and the identification of broader system interventions. Following HFACS ‐RCA2 implementation, RCA team members (risk managers and quality improvement advisors) also experienced greater satisfaction in their work, leadership gained more t...

The influence of medical insurance on obstetrical care
We report the impact of health care insurance on obstetrical and maternal outcomes in a tertiary care health care system. Our maternal quality care database (n = 4199) was queried comparing commercial insurance to government sponsored insurance from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018. Parturients with commercial insurance were older, weighed more, presented with less gravidity and parity, had more advanced gestation, and had a higher neonatal 5 ‐minute Apgar score than government insured parturients. Additionally, government insured parturients were less likely to be admitted for induction with oxytocin, receive labor ep...
