In recent years, many healthcare organizations have developed local methods for responding to patient safety incidents
with processes that are more rigorous than a simple incident report but less rigorous than a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) or similar comprehensive review. The World Health Organization (WHO) Patient Safety Programme is developing a tool and methodology for the conduct of concise incident analyses, termed the Concise Incident Analysis (CIA) Tool. The concise method included in the
Canadian Incident Analysis Framework is one of the main resources on which the CIA Tool is based on.
The
Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI), in partnership with the
Johns Hopkins’ Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality and the
WHO Patient Safety Programme, pilot tested this tool with healthcare organizations around the world.
