Healthcare failure mode and effect analysis combined service blueprint - Mitigating mass casualty triage in emergency units: A qualitative study.

Introduction: The 24-hour operation of medical emergency units involves crucial first-hand information and medical treatments, which could involve potential complications and disputes if not handled with the utmost professionalism. Effective logistical support and timely activation are crucial in mass casualty triage to prevent systematic treatment issues and chaos.

Objective: This study explores the integration of Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) with a service blueprint to mitigate medical risks and enhance mass casualty triage efficiency in emergency units.

An operational maintenance approach for improving physiological monitor by HFMEA process: an empirical case study.

Unlabelled: This study explored the application of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) to identify and evaluate risk-associated factors in the intensive care unit (ICU) through a clinical-based expert knowledge (decision) for the physiological monitor operational maintenance process.

Methods And Intervention: A mixed qualitative and quantitative proactive approach to explore the HFMEA process by analyzing 20 units of physiological monitors in the ICU. An HFMEA expert team of six people was formed to perform a risk-based analysis and evaluate the potential hazard index, mitigating the hazard scores and risks.

Comparison of clinical effects between warm water spray and sitz bath in post-hemorrhoidectomy period.

Background: Warm water sitz bath is advised for a variety of anorectal disorders. However, preparation of the sitz bath is sometimes difficult for patients. As an alternative to the sitz bath, we have adapted a water spray method.
