This page shows the FMEA Tool Report created by a specific organization or individual — including (in a separate browser window) the detailed FMEA that outlines the steps in the process; the failure modes, causes, and effects for each step; and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each step, each associated failure mode, and the entire process. In addition, the graph tracks the RPN for the process over time to see if the changes you are making are leading to improvement.

Does this process look like yours? You can use it as the basis for creating your own FMEA!

Annotations

1	Goal is to reduce by 50% by Education of staff
2	IS changes for documentation
3	Education staff/physicians
4	Documentation has improved. Using protocols much better. Physicians becoming more keyed to glucose control. CRN will help stress importance of all the elements
5	Closing FMEA and monitor. Sharp reduction in decubitus over the year
