ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

Dr. Muscarella performs root cause analyses of identified infection-control deviations, lapses or breaches. These analyses may be used by a medical facility to:

  • identify the possible causes of, and any factor that contributed to, a confirmed breach, deviation, error, or quality non-conformance; and
  • develop corresponding corrective actions necessary to prevent the breach’s recurrence.

An example of one of Dr. Muscarella’s detailed root cause analysis of an identified infection-control breach linked to a bacterial outbreak following arthroscopy may be read by clicking here.

A brochure explaining this, along with other safety and quality services Dr. Muscarella performs, can be read by clicking here.  These services include performing audits and risk assessments of infection-control breaches identified in any healthcare setting.
