HAI Fast Forward Series: Using RCA2 as a Framework for CLABSI and CAUTI
The RCA2 process investigates adverse events to discover underlying system issues that contributed to the event. The RCA2 team is a multidisciplinary team responsible for conducting research, identifying root cause contributing factors, and identifying corrective actions. By combing the RCA2 methodology with modifying existing technologies, we were able to create a more efficient process for all involved. Creating a standardized template for documenting risk factors and contributing factors enabled the team to trend, track, and follow-up on corrective actions.
