A 13 year-old girl, Tina, was admitted for outpatient surgery on September 14. Tina was accompanied by her mother, who was informed by nursing personnel she would be in surgery approximately 45 minutes and then recovery for one hour.

Root cause analysis is a common term used by investigators and analysts that means different things to different people. However, in its most literal sense root cause analysis requires the performer to systematically break down a situation into individual components or processes in a search for truth that can be supported by facts (Eckhardt, 2007). This analysis should be conducted in the form of an investigation into both the apparent symptoms of a situation as well as the causes that led up to the situation being analyzed. As an example, if performed correctly, a police investigation will use root cause analysis to first determine what happened, and only after the event is understood, would the investigator begin to piece together who (if anyone) may have been responsible for the situation that transpired. A proper investigation may lead to the investigator finding that while a cause to the incident existed, no fault can be assigned to an individual.…

At first, when I looked at the requirements of this assignment I groaned a little bit. Not because of the length or because of the techniques used, but because I couldn't initially think of a situation where I could really apply one of our critical thinking tools that went beyond a few short sentences. I have my opinions on relevant new stories and things at work, but most of them are uninformed or even a little biased at times. My social life could be considered nonexistent at the moment, so there isn't really anything to discuss in that area. I then realized that I have the perfect personal situation for applying the Root Cause Analysis tool to (Root Cause Analysis: Tracing a Problem to its Origins, n.d.). I recently returned from, and plan…
