Access information on root cause analysis on the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations website: jointcommission.org/. The
specific forms needed are located under the category “sentinel event.” Select “forms
and tools.” Specifically you will need the “Root Cause Analysis Matrix,” and the “Framework
for Conducting a Root-CauseAnalysis and Action Plan.” The matrix gives
examples of specific types of sentinel events with a heavy emphasis on the
occurrences in the acute care setting, but will apply equally in other settings. The
framework form can be downloaded and saved to disk (the name of the document
is rcaframework.doc).
