Abstract
Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) is a systematic risk assessment method derived from high risk industries to prospectively examine complex healthcare processes. Like most methods, HFMEA has strengths and weaknesses. In this paper we provide a review of HFMEA's limitations and we introduce an expanded version of traditional HFMEA, with the addition of two safety management techniques: Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Analysis (SHERPA) and Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes – Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STAMP-STPA). The combination of the three methodologies addresses significant HFMEA limitations. To test the viability of the proposed hybr..
