In previous weeks, we have discussed problem-solving frameworks and applied them to theoretical problems. In this discussion, you are going to analyze their use in research and see their actual application in different healthcare settings. For your first post, you will need to select one of the research reports on a quality initiative in your required resources that uses root-cause analysis (RCA), failure mode effect analysis (FMEA), or plan-do-study-act (PDSA). If you prefer, you can also choose a different research report that uses one of those three problem-solving frameworks.
In your initial post, address the following:
Outline the steps of the problem-solving framework used in the research report you chose.
What was the identified problem in your chosen research report?
Why was the problem-solving framework selected?
What team members were involved in the different steps of the problem-solving framework?
Describe the role of the problem-solving framework in the research and the conclusion of the research.
Discuss the framework selection in the research.
Did you agree with the selection? Why or why not?
