The development of the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) has been
motivated by the perceived limitations of fundamentally deterministic and probabilistic …

This is a review paper of studies that have employed the functional resonance analysis
method (FRAM). FRAM is a relatively new systemic method for modeling and analyzing …

Accident causation models mainly answer the following two questions:(ⅰ) why does an
accident occur, and (ⅱ) how does it occur? These models are the most important theoretical …

Patient safety is typically assessed by the frequency of adverse events or incidents, which
means we seek to determine safety by its absence rather than its presence. 1 The Safety-II …

Resilience Engineering principles are becoming increasingly popular in healthcare to
improve patient safety. FRAM is the best-known Resilience Engineering method with several …

Introduction The period following discharge can present risks for older adults. Most research
has focused on hospital discharge with less attention paid to on-going care needs. Despite …

Background Failure to rescue (FTR) denotes mortality from post-operative complications
after surgery with curative intent. High-volume, low-mortality units have similar complication …

The main purpose of this study was to model and analyze hospital to home transition
processes of frail older adults in order to identify the challenges within this process. A multi …

Objectives It is unclear how nurses adjust the double check during injectable medication
administration and guarantee patient safety. We used the Functional Resonance Analysis …

The improvement of safety management in the construction sector, especially in activities for
concrete structures, continues to be necessary. This paper aims at increasing understanding …
