Course Overview
In the high-stakes environment of healthcare, even the smallest failure can lead to life-altering consequences. Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a proactive, structured approach that helps healthcare professionals identify potential failures in systems, processes, and care pathways — before they cause harm.
This course, designed specifically for healthcare settings, unlocks the principles and practical applications of FMEA to drive safer, more reliable care. You’ll learn how to systematically evaluate risks, prioritize them based on severity and likelihood, and implement targeted actions to reduce errors and improve outcomes.
