Is It Time to Improve Your Hospital’s Patient Safety by Using Advanced Root Cause Analysis?

Time

TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis for Patient Safety Improvement

This is a special course designed to teach the advanced TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis System to people focused on improving patient safety.

We noticed long ago (1996) that hospitals weren’t finding the root causes of problems causing patient harm. We knew that the TapRooT® System could help. And we started getting leaders to try TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis to improve patient safety.

Fast forward to 2018. We decided to write a book, Improve Patient Safety with TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis, a custom healthcare-oriented Root Cause Tree® Dictionary, and a course to teach the advanced TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis System to healthcare professionals.

Now, you can attend the first public course with all healthcare-related examples:

That’s why hospital administrators and their patient safety experts need to attend this course.
