Hello everyone,
Just wanting to get some feedback on what is considered appropriate for escalating a wound/skin alteration to administration for root cause analysis. Currently working in a critical care unit with a director who wants root cause analysis for ALL wound/skin alterations that develop in the unit. All involved staff that has ever worked with the patient will attend these meetings. I see the benefit in these RCA's however, also believe in auditing the whole situation as in the current disease state, contributing factors and so on. For example, a bed bound patient post failed fem-pop bypass acquires a DTI in affected extremity, an RCA is being conducted for. Have never been asked to attend an RCA, what is to be expected and bottom line is admin trying to assign blame in these cases? Thanks for your input!
