Description

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.

Whether you’re part of a clinical team, quality improvement unit, or healthcare leadership, this course empowers you to think critically, lead risk assessments confidently, and foster a culture of patient safety.

This course is for all levels of healthcare personnel to form a basic understanding of the concepts and tools in FMEA. It will introduce the fundamental concepts of FMEA as a risk assessment and risk management tool to predict failures in a system or process so that actions can be taken to prevent errors and failures before they happen.
