Deskripsi
Key points FMECA is a proactive risk assessment tool that has proved useful in identifying potential failures in the process of prescribing and administering cancer treatments, which is a high-risk process. The analysis evidenced 22 failures modes, distributed over the various phases of the process. In order to reduce the likelihood of the cause, or to improve the chances of a failure mode being detected, this work identified a number of recommendations to be adopted in the administration of cancer treatment in an outpatient setting.
