Software for healthcare FMEA

CCD Health Systems specializes in software, training and consultative services to facilitate patient safety and risk management activities in the health care arena, with focus on using tools such as Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA^®) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Our focus is three-fold:

Risk management and loss prevention are critical in today's fiscal environment, and must be coordinated with high quality of care, regulatory compliance and patient/customer opinion, all with due consideration to resources and costs. Our approach to consultation is to give our clients the tools they need to progress on their own, minimizing further dependence upon any external resources, consultative or otherwise. We feel that if our clients have the appropriate tools, further consultative costs should be unnecessary. We can accordingly offer guidance in establishing risk management needs, policies, communication systems, monitoring/reporting systems, sentinel event processes, etc.
