Slow day
I am in my living room on a Saturday morning and was just thinking about how often things go wrong in our fast paced world. Case in point, I was at my doctor for my full physical and we started discussing Quality Control and Quality Assurance and the topic came up as to medical procedure quality. I have been involed in FMEA developement for hospital process and surgical protocol and have noticed a fairly strong CONTROL emphasis as a result of those activities. Control in the sense of preventing a failure. An example would be the double checking of your bar code on your wrist and the additional questioning by the care giver regarding your name and purpose of your hospital stay. These controls and the FMEA process outputs driving this level scrutiny has made your hospital alittle more safe.
