Background of WakeMed
WakeMed is a multi-facility health care system consisting of 629 acute care
beds, 515 at New Bern Avenue and 114 at Western Wake Medical Center.
WakeMed employs 5800 employees and is affiliated with UNC Healthcare
through its residency programs.
What is an FMEA?
FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) as its applied in Healthcare is a
proactive team-oriented approach to risk reduction that seeks to improve
patient safety by minimizing risk potential in high-risk processes.
Rather than focus on a problem - after its occurrence, FMEA looks at what
could go wrong at each process step, the so-called Failure Modes,
assigns a risk score to each of these possibilities, and provides for a teamoriented approach to focus resources on priority issues. Since the 1960s
theyve been used in the nuclear, military, aviation, food, and automotive
industries, now theyre being used in Healthcare and other service industries.

Various scoring guidelines exist, below is a scoring guideline from the The
Basics of FMEA by S.L. Goodman. You may wish to adapt the scoring
guidelines to suit the process under study. Scores for this case study can be
found on the attached FMEA worksheet.

Since scores are 1-10, the resultant Risk Priority Number will be from
1-1000. Failure Modes with RPN scores <= 100 are generally considered
minor scores and might not be considered further by the team when an
action plan is created in step 7.

Lessons Learned
Although conducting an FMEA can be a time consuming process, the results
can be very worthwhile. However, be sure to obtain management support
for the project, and a team leaders skills in keeping a team motivated and
progressing through the project is essential to ensure the completion of a
successful project.
In Conclusion
FMEA is a tool for proactive risk assessment that is now being used in
healthcare. Infant Security was chosen as the 2003 FMEA project at
WakeMed because of the high volume of births in the WakeMed system and
the significance of this concern to the hospital and the community that we
serve. Through the use of FMEA, significant reductions in scored risk have
been realized.
