Introduction. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a method that is used to address a problem or non-conformance, in order to get to the “root cause” of the problem. It is used so we can correct or eliminate the cause, and prevent the problem from recurring. It is not “rocket science” – anyone can do it.

(quantitatively) to see when it is done and to see if it worked? Will it prevent future incidents? Is the person responsible for implementing the corrective action clearly defined? Is the due date clearly specified? Is every suggested corrective action practical? Is there a simpler or less expensive way to do the same thing? Can you convince manage...
Is the due date for the corrective action soon enough, given the consequences of another failure? If the frequency of failure is high and the consequences of failure are significant, does the report offer interim action to reduce the risk while the final corrective actions are being implemented? Effective?
The aim of this chapter was to enable a better understanding of some of the concepts and processes used in root cause analysis. The following is evident from the literature discussion in this chapter: One approach to root cause analysis is to focus on cause and effect relationships. Cause and effect relationships help organisations to identify patt...
Jan 1, 2015 · A root cause is a specific underlying reason that may explain the occurrence of a problem or a sentinel event, which is defined by the Joint Commission . Typically, a root cause is a situation, which when identified and altered can lead to a different outcome.

understand what happened, identify the root cause of failure, and recommend corrective actions to prevent future reoccurrence. • There is a consistent approach to an RCA throughout literature. Organisations must adopt a system/process focus, and not blame individual(s) involved.
Root cause analysis (RCA) is an event analysis tool used to retrospectively analyze adverse and sentinel events. A multidisciplinary team uses the tool to determine the primary systemic causes of the event without placing blame on the individuals involved and to develop actions to prevent a similar event from occurring in the future.

In general, root cause analysis can be defined as a process of analysis to define the problem, to understand the causal mechanism underlying transition from desirable to undesirable condition, and to identify the root causes of problem in order to keep the problem from recurring by using a structured procedure [2].
