Evaluation and improvement of drug management process are essential for patient safety. The present study was performed whit the aim of assessing risk of drug management process in Women Surgery Department of QEH using HFMEA method in 2013. A mixed method was used to analyze failure modes and their effects with HFMEA. To classify failure modes; nursing errors in clinical management model, for c...

The cost of health and safety failures to UK industry is currently estimated at up to £6.5 billion per annum with the construction sector suffering unacceptably high levels of work related incidents. Better health and safety education across all skill levels in the industry is seen as an integral part of any solution. Traditional lecture-based courses often fail to re-create the dynamic realiti...

This paper presents an approach to estimate probabilities of failure in cases where the random variables are correlated. An explicit limit state function is constructed in the uncorrelated standard normal space using the Nataf transformation and a support vector machine (SVM). The method of explicitly constructing the limit state function is referred to as explicit design space decomposition (E...

Accelerated life tests (ALTs) provide timely assessments of the reliability of materials, components, and subsystems. ALTs can be run at any of these levels or at the full-system level. Sometimes ALTs generate multiple failure modes. A frequently asked question, coming near to the end of an ALT program, is “What do these test results say about field performance?” ALTs are carefully controlled w...

When designing products, it is crucial to assure failure and risk-free operation in the intended operating environment. Failures are typically studied and eliminated as much as possible during the early stages of design. The few failures that go undetected result in unacceptable damage and losses in high-risk applications where public safety is of concern. Published NASA and NTSB accident repor...

conclusions the early signs and symptoms of iscls may be subtle; therefore the diagnosis can easily be missed and prompt treatment of the syndrome may be postponed. thus, the clinician must consider iscls in differential diagnosis in cases of hypotension, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia. case presentation we present a 58-year-old female who presented with peripheral edema, leg pain, and ...
