This area of Workspace features interactive tools to help you in your improvement work. Just enter your data and the interactive tool will automatically calculate and graph the appropriate measures for you. The first two interactive tools we are introducing are powerful tools to help organizations make their processes safer: The Trigger Tool for Measuring Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) and the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Tool.

			Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Tool The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Tool is a method for analyzing any process to see where it is likely to fail; to see how changes you are considering might affect the safety of the process; and to track changes in the Risk Priority Number (or RPN) of the process over time.
