Root Cause Analysis Blog

It’s rare to see an audit or evaluation be this blunt. See:

Could this audit be performed by an internal auditor?

Would it be possible to conduct an audit like this if the Hospital Administrator was still there? (He quit before the audit was conducted.)

Could the Board be more independent and should have they found the problems and forced the Administrator to Change (or fired him) before it came to the point of losing Medicare certification?

What do you think?
