Introduction
Medical failure poses a real threat to both the health system and the patients’ health. It is likely to happen in all diagnosis and treatment stages, which is often costly and reduces the quality of life of patients (1). Hence, maintaining
patient safety is a major concern in the health care system (2). Furthermore, the Emergency Department is one of the most challenging departments of the hospital for for the study of patient safety because of its unique features (3). In emergency situations, time for critical thinking, which results in delays in decision making and consequently an increase
ABS TRACT Aim: The Emergency Department is one of the most challenging wards of the hospital for studying patient safety and the prevention of treatment errors is the basic rule in the quality of health care. The present study was conducted to evaluate the selected risk processes of Pediatric Emergency of Qaem Educational Hospital in Mashhad by the Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (HFMEA) methodology. Materials and Methods: A mixed method was used to analyze failure modes and their effects with HFMEA. Five high-risk processes of the Pediatric Emergency were identified and analyzed. To classify failure modes, nursing errors in clinical management model; for classifying factors affecting error, the approved model by the United Kingdom National Health System; and for determining solutions for improvement, Theory of Inventive Problem Solving was used. Results: In 5 selected processes, 28 steps, 80 sub-processes and 254 potential failure modes were identified with HFMEA. Thirty-seven (14.5%) failure modes as high-risk errors were detected and transferred to the decision tree. The most and the least failure modes were placed in the categories of care errors as 62.3%, and knowledge and skill as 8.1% respectively. Also, 23.6% of preventive measures were in the category of human resource management strategy. Conclusion: Using the proactive method of HFMEA for identifying the possible failure of treatment procedures, determining the effective cause on each failure mode and proposing the improvement strategies, has high efficiency and effectiveness. Keywords: Emergency, Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, pediatric, risk management.

in adverse events, is very short (3). Preventable errors are one of the main factors of patient death and disability. Based on the results of a study, nearly 40% of inpatients have become disabled, and 2.3% of these disabilities were related to preventable errors (4). Totally, 3% of all hospital errors are related to the emergency department (5). Furthermore, approximately one-third of the patients referring to hospitals are for the pediatric emergency department, and this department has been identified as a high-risk area in the health care system (6). Adverse events have resulted in an extra expenditure of about 37 billion US dollars in America, and one to two billion pounds in England (7). Prevention of medical errors is one of the basic principles in the quality of health care (7). In all quality improvement programs, an error prevention and risk management approach is one of the pivotal aspects of creating, establishing, and deploying management systems in organizations (8). One of the most promising risk prevention programs from the viewpoint of the National Center for Patient Safety (NCPS) and the US Accreditation Commission, is Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (HFMEA) (9). In fact, HFMA is a systematic and predictive strategy which is designed specifically for healthcare organizations to identify and prevent errors before they happen (10). This method is used extensively in order to identify errors and improve patient safety standards. Results of studies indicate that from 2008 to 2009, and after the implementation of risk assessment programs by NCPS, the number of adverse medical events has reduced from 3643 to 2412 (11). The administration of patient safety plans in the Emergency Department has improved the quality of healthcare and patient satisfaction (12), and the Emergency Department is one of the most important departments of the hospital (13), as well as being the first department to provide healthcare for many patients (14). Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the selected risk processes of pediatric emergency of a treatment-educational Qaem center in Mashhad by the HFMEA methodology.
Materials and Methods
Research Design and Setting
This study was approved by the ethical committee of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences prior to the collection of the data in January 2013 (approval number: 911089). Written informed consent was recruited from each participant. A mixed-method including qualitative action research and descriptive quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016. Qaem Hospital is ranked as one of the largest educational and therapeutic centers at regional and national levels, with a total of 870 active beds, 18 units and 7 emergency rooms, with Para clinical services and clinics. Children’s Emergency Department of Qaem Hospital undertakes the following services: reception and outpatient treatment; performing, sending and following-up
laboratory tests; serum attachment; physiotherapy; tension test; catheterization; electroencephalogram; performing, sending and following the response of the cerebrospinal fluid; vaccination, washing, wound dressing of the patient; patient’s initial visit, nominal group technique, electromyography-nerve conduction velocity, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography scan; neonatal lactation; endoscopy; liver biopsy; primary visit; patient radiology, Sonography, suction, intubation, auditory test, optometry test, delivery of blood transfusion and blood products, phototherapy and determining the condition of the patient (transferring the patient to other departments for continued care or discharge). In this study five high-risk processes of pediatric emergency department were identified and analyzed in Qaem Treatment- Educational Center. It should be noted that the temporary admission rate in the Pediatric Emergency had an average of 396 people per month (200 temporary admissions in the morning shift, 110 admissions in the evening shift and 86 in the night shift) in 2015.
Data Collection
Data gathering was done through focus groups, interviews, observation, and brainstorming. The validity of this study was controlled by the consensus of team members at the end of each phase. The stages of this research were determined according to the five stages of the analysis of the states and effects of health care errors by the National Center for Patient Safety (9), and were carried out as follows, which, as the circumstances require, have differences with the proposed model;
Step 1: Choosing a Risky Process
Via the “voting method using rating” technique, ten members of the pediatric emergency department were asked to rank five of the 26 processes listed in the section, considering the problem effects on the patients’ dissatisfaction, the likelihood of injuries by the problems and the need to fix the problems. Then, the data obtained from the voting was finalized according to the matrix or the Breda function and five priority processes were selected for risk management (15,16).
Step 2: Assembling the Team
Qaem Hospital’s emergency staff includes a supervisor, 8 nurses, 3 staff members, one children’s emergency department director, 5 pediatricians, a secretary, two crew members and 6 pediatric residents. In the staffing program, the staffing of the emergency medical staff is carried out three times morning, evening and night. In this process, 15 persons participated as the members of HFMEA team, including the responsible person of risk management (team leader), an expert in health services (team advisor), an assistant professor in the emergency department, head of the emergency department, a supervisor, two assistants

(residents), two nurses, the chief of the laboratory, a laboratory expert, a blood bank expert, MRI expert, and head of the MRI department.
Step 3: Graphically Describing the Processes
At this stage, the charts of the selected processes and their sub-processes were drawn through the observation and individual interviewing method, and the accuracy of the diagram of the flow of processes and sub-processes was modified and approved by the team members in a group discussion session, and was drawn in the form of a process flowchart with Visio software.
Step 4: Conducting Hazard Analysis that Took Place in Four Phases
First phase: Determination of potential failure modes At this stage, the error states of each of the sub-
processes of the selected sections were identified by the triangular method (17), and classified according to the classes of the “Nursing Error Management Association” model (18). Failure modes according to the nursing errors in clinical management model were categorized in 4 main groups of communication; care process, administrative, knowledge, and skilled based error (18).
Second Phase: Determination of the hazard score The hazard Score was determined using the Error Scoring
Matrix (the product of the two elements of the severity and probability of occurrence of the error) and was recorded in the HFMEA worksheet. The errors were grouped according to their hazard score into four intervention levels, i.e., emergency, urgency, programming, and monitoring (Table I) (19).
Third Phase: Designing decision making tree The non-acceptable risks (risk score level more than
8) were transferred to the decision tree. Decisions for proceeding or stopping each of the failure modes was made based on three items; weakness points, existing control, and detectability.
Fourth Phase: In this phase, the failure mode causes of each failure mode, and where the decision is to “Proceed” were categorized into 9 root causes in the consultative cause-effect meetings, and in the format of an approved model by the UK National Health System (20).
Step 5: Actions and Measurement of Consequences which Were Performed in Two Phases
Phase 1: Definition of Error Control Strategies In this phase, suggested coping strategies were proposed
for the causes of errors in the decision tree in the form of acceptance, control, and elimination of errors. The second phase, redesigning the process: improving strategies for each cause of error with a score ≥8 in the team meetings through “theory of the problem solving by an inventive method” (21,22) were provided and classified with inspiring by the proposed model of “classification of preventive strategies in the incidence of medical errors” (7,23), and finally decisions were made about the practicability of the implementation of any approach with regard to the resources of the organization.
Statistical Analysis
Quantitative Analysis: For the quantitative analysis of the variables related to the failure mode analysis phase, descriptive statistics were calculated in Excel software, including frequency, percent, and mean. Also, for the quantitative analysis and determination of the probability of the failures, the sum of the team’s scores was used with consideration of a coefficient for each team member. For the severity of the failures, the team members’ consensus along with the consideration of weight for the severity of failures was used. In the final worksheet, we calculated and documented the sum of the failure mode severity scores according to team members’ opinions. By considering weights for the failure mode severity dimensions we calculated the sum of the failure mode probability scores based on the involved personnel’s opinions (also by considering the coefficient for each person).
Qualitative Analysis: Content analysis was done on the data collected from the individual interviews in order to put them in the organized forms. To do so, all the interviews with the team members were transcribed, and, for the sake of understanding the transcriptions, they were read, and repetitions were omitted and the significant issues were extracted. Therefore, a list of all of the team members’ opinions was prepared. Analysis of the data from the brainstorming, cause and effect, and problem-solving sessions was done based on the general agreement of the team members. It should be noted that the time taken to carry out the study was 38 hours.
Results
By voting method using rating, 5 out of 20 identified processes in pediatric emergency, with Borda number of (37 score) for the process of MRI implementation (32 score) for the process of performing, sending and tracking the laboratory results (25 score) for the process of implementing the lP (18 score) for transferring CSF specimen and following up the results and (7 score) for the process of setup IV line, were chosen. According to the results, for 5 selected processes per 28 listed steps, 80 sub-processes and 254 failure modes were identified. According to table 2, the interventional levels showed that 1.2% of the error modes

were related to the emergency levels intervention, 13.3% to urgent, 76.3% to programmed, and 9.1% were related to the monitoring area. Also, the number of identified failure modes, the number of intervention levels and the classification of the failure modes for the selected processes based on the proposed model were shown by the association of “management of nursing error”. According to Table II, (62.3%) of the failure modes related to care process error; (13.8%) to communication errors; (15.7%) to administrative errors; and (8.1%) to knowledge and skill errors. In the next step, from the 254 detected failure modes, 37 (14.5%) were recognized as high-risk and unacceptable (hazard score of 8 and higher) and were transferred to the decision tree (Table III). In Table III, classification of the causes of high-risk and non-acceptable risk (hazard score ≥8) is shown based on an approved model by the UK National Health System. According to table 3, among the 106 effective causes detected in the high-risk failure modes of the decision tree, 9.4% related to team factors; 7.5% to organizational factors; 12.2% to communication factors; 7.5% to task factors; 12.2% to personnel factors; 16.1% to environment factors; 9.4% to patient factors; 18.8% to education factors,
and 6.6% to facilities and technologies. Table IV, Phase I, Definition of Error Control Strategies: In this phase, suggested coping strategies were proposed for the causes of errors in the decision tree in the form of acceptance, control, and elimination of errors. Strategies suggested opposing the contributing factors to each failure mode were presented in the forms of acceptance (25%), control (58.3%), and elimination (16.6%). In Table V, the strategic classification and preventive approaches proposed by the problem-solving theory are shown based on the proposed model. According to Table V, among the 106 strategies detected in the high- risk failure modes of the decision tree, 23.6% related to human resource management; 2.9% to the installation of electronic prescribing system; 5.9% related to making people accountable for patient’s safety; 5.9% related to medical equipment management and process standardization; 4.1% to the improvement of the patient identification process; 2.6% related to making clear and transparent policies and procedures; 3.2% to making sure of the availability of a suitable technology for quality improvement; 7.6% to the continuous training and briefing of care providers at the beginning of employment; 11.2% related to the participation
