Learn PROACT® - Software Training
Who Should Attend:
Course Agenda:
Healthcare today requires practical, efficient, cost-effective
tools to achieve patient safety. Driven by demands of accreditation,
private payers, government regulators and consumers, healthcare
The PROACT® Suite offers healthcare entities powerful yet practical tools for this purpose. The PROACT® Suite combines the LEAP™ Opportunity Analysis process and the PROACT® Root Cause Analysis (RCA) process providing the user with a tool that contains the capability to meet the expectations found in the JCAHO Patient Safety Standards. It goes further, providing healthcare entities a means to record and analyze reliable data upon which to effect systemic change. It is applicable to every facet of healthcare including integrated absence management/workers compensation.
And, unlike other tools, the PROACT® Suite enables users to recognize cost savings from the investment in the technology. With money and time saved in optimizing patient services, the return on investment in the PROACT® Suite can help expand patient and process improvement initiatives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEAP™ Basic
FMEA and Opportunity Analysis:
LEAP™ facilitates the FMEA and Opportunity Analysis processes,
while all the time documenting the inputs. When all the inputs
have been satisfied the data is compiled by the program and the
LEAP™ report is complete and ready for printing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROACT® RCA software is an automation tool that facilitates analysts' through the RCA process no matter what the undesirable outcome. PROACT® is an acronym that stands for:
PReserving Event Data
Each element of PROACT® is essential to any analysis process. You cannot determine the cause of an undesirable event without information. This makes preservation of data a key initial step in any analysis process.
Organizing a team is hard enough in itself with the lean staffs we have these days, but organizing an ideal RCA is even more difficult. Having the right members on a team can make the difference between success and failure. Teams must know why they are together and how they know when they have been successful.
Eventually the intuitive aspects of the program will prompt the user to identify Physical Human and Latent Roots. For example, we may find after an analysis that an improper medication was given to a patient and it resulted in a sentinel event. A Physical Root may be that the wrong medication was administered. A Human Root may be that the nurse improperly transcribed the label on the vile (error of commission). A Latent Root may be that the label on the vile utilized all capital letters and increased the risk of improper transcription due to Human Factors deficiencies. The goal of RCA is to identify deficiencies in systems not to "witch hunt" individuals or groups.
Tracking for results in monitoring the
effectiveness in the implemented recommendations on the bottom-line.
If something does not improve, then we were not successful.

The PROACT® approach is simple, logical and efficient. It is not full of bells and whistles you will not use. The purpose of PROACT® is to assist the analyst in developing a "solid case" built on facts not assumptions. It gets directly to the point and quick!

The PROACT® Suite Integration Advantage The valuable outcome of analyses such as FMEA, Opportunity Analysis and RCA is the knowledge-sharing component. Sure we are all content when a successful analysis has been completed and the objectives accomplished. However, are we optimizing our efforts if such information is not disseminated to those in need in a simple and practical manner?
LEAP™ and PROACT® RCA were designed to model our respective methodologies. Therefore, they were designed to work in unison with each other. The Significant Few events identified in the LEAP™ program can automatically be bridged into the PROACT® RCA program. This means that once you have identified a qualified candidate for RCA you can get down to business immediately with the RCA.
Within each program, LEAP™ and PROACT® RCA, security features will allow networked versions to protect "analyses in progress" from unauthorized viewers. When analyses are deemed to have been successfully completed and authorized for distribution, the Principal Analyst of the analysis can "publish" it so that any other licensed user of the program can view their completed analysis in a read-only format. Should the viewer decide they could use some of the information in a published analysis, they have the option of copying it and renaming it to suit their needs. At this point they can make any changes they would like while capitalizing on the knowledge and experience of others in similar situations.
PROACT® RCA Software Training: The objective of this software training is to assist the user in understanding the conceptual idea behind the PROACT® RCA software application and familiarize them with its functionality. Upon completion of this course, the user will have the skills to complete a thorough Root Cause Analysis within their organization. Call or Email Us for Pricing. Call: 804-458-0645

Analyzing the data collected in preserve
is like the detective who has collected evidence and leads
and now needs to know how to "put it all together". PROACT® utilizes
an extremely easy to use drag-and-drop logic tree to represent
the sequence of errors that lead to failure. The intuitive
rules built into the program are based on prominent human error
researchers from around the world. These rules guide the analyst
through developing the actual logic sequence that led to failure.
Each hypothesis developed must be validated with factual data
and logged in our verification log.
Communicating findings and recommendations
is vital to any analysis. If we cannot effectively sell our
recommendations to management then the causes identified run
the risk of recurrence. PROACT® prompts
the user to fill in specific fields related to causes identified
and the recommendations to overcome them. The user has the option
to print sections of the report, or with one keystroke, print
the entire report and all the supporting data. PROACT® also
features an on-line presentation mode so that analysts can electronically
present their findings to a management group without the hassle
of developing a Power Point® presentation.
package that will allow the user to
develop their own criteria of measuring performance.
