    Study Notes

    Canadian Incident Analysis Framework

    • Intended for those managing, analyzing, or learning from patient safety incidents
    • Designed to help determine what happened, how and why it happened, and how to reduce recurrence and increase safety
    • Aims to enhance safety and quality of care, promote a culture of safety, promote patient/family-centered care, and encourage learning/dissemination
    • Also helps improve effectiveness of incident management and improve success of incident analysis as a tool in injury prevention
    • Incident analysis cannot be separated from incident management

    Before the Incident

    • Organizations should develop plans for handling incidents
    • Plans should outline steps, responsibilities, and available resources (policies, procedures, checklists)
    • Plans need visible leadership and strong organizational culture support
    • Plans and procedures should be regularly tested/updated/revised to align with any changes

    Immediate Response

    • Caring for and supporting patients/families after an incident is crucial
    • Ensuring the safety of other potential patients at risk is important
    • Reporting the incident is the next step, in alignment with organizational policies and practices.

    Prepare for Analysis

    • Initial fact-finding is needed to determine appropriate follow-up
    • The goal is a high-level timeline and documentation of facts related to the incident
    • Next steps are determined after the initial investigation is complete

    Select an Analysis Method

    • Analysis types include concise, comprehensive, and multi-incident approaches
    • Decision on the appropriate method is made jointly by involved individuals and leaders

    Identify the Team and Team Approach

    • A facilitator (analysis expert) and a leader (operational responsibility) coordinate the analysis process
    • Team involvement of those who provided care and families is important

    Coordinate Meetings

    • Facilitator collaboratively gathers necessary information for analysis (records, timeline, policies, procedures, evidence)
    • A full analysis team convenes at a mutually agreed-upon time and date
    • All documentation is tracked and returned to the facilitator

    Plan for and Conduct Interviews

    • Interviews should happen as soon as possible to capture memories before they fade
    • Interview all staff involved, along with patient and families (where appropriate)
    • Thank individuals for their assistance and answer any questions
