Root Cause Analysis

Syria is a Middle Eastern country located on the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, and Lebanon. To people in the West, Syria is most likely known for violence, terrorism, and conflict because that is what the media portrays. However, it is one of the oldest inhabited regions in the world and is rich with culture and history. From Bible references noting, “The road to Damascus” to Ottoman control in 1516 to Bashar al-Assad taking control in 2000, Syria has seen periods of peace but has been plagued with many years of instability throughout its history and especially in recent years. This essay will discuss the events leading to the uprisings, the current situation, and possible peaceful resolutions.

The only reason the war started was because there people wanted more freedom. When they didnt give it to themthe people started to protest against the goverment. The syrian goverment chose to attack the protesters. Which caused the war. As the war started to progress foreign countries picked sides. Countries like russia,iran,united states,saudi arabia, qatar, and turkey. None of these countries seem to agree on the pain for peace russia and iran are supporting presonlation

Sentinel events occur, but finding out the root cause of what may happened is used to improve patient safety. According to the National Patient Safety Foundation (2015), “RCA is a process widely used by health professionals to learn how and why errors occurred,” and “investigating the event in question with the intent of eliminating the possibility or reducing the likelihood of a future similar event.” The most crucial step in the root cause analysis and action process is to identify actions to eliminate or control vulnerabilities and hazards from the cause of death (RCA2 Improving Root Cause Analyses and Actions to Prevent Harm, 2016).

McDonagh (2013) stated that pressure ulcer is a one of the indicator to represent of quality of patient care. University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Trust in England carried out a special campaign to prevent and to remove avoidable pressure ulcer with use of several strategies such as “Root cause analysis and performance review, equipment gap analysis, “documentation review, review of staff education, 100 Days free campaign, and use of social media” (McDonagh, 2013). McDonagh (2013) mentioned that “Root cause analysis and performance review” is an analyzing tool for patient safety incidents thus it helps to prevent safety incidents. During this special campaign, nursing staff’s education was empathized and Tissue Viability Team developed

Root cause analysis (RCA) is an assessment tool used in healthcare after an error has occurred to ask what happened, why did it happen, and how can we prevent it from happening again. RCA is a focusing on system causes rather than on blame. RCA takes into consideration causative factors error and hazards that led to a sentinel event. A sentinel event is defined by The Joint Commission as “A patient safety event that reaches a patient and results in any of the following: death, permanent harm, or severe temporary harm and intervention required to sustain life. An event can also be considered a sentinel event even if the outcome was not death, permanent

The Syrian crisis began in early 2011 when Syrian President Bashar al-Assad began a brutal crackdown on protests throughout the country. In March 2011, security forces opened fire on protesters at a “Day of Rage” rally in the southern city of Deraa, triggering violence and civilian death. The Syrian government’s violent response led to military personal leaving the

first step in conducting a root cause analysis is to form a committee of individuals that are from

When Hafez al-Assad passed away from a heart attack, hope for Syria arose with promises of reform. On June 10th, 2000, Hafez passed away leaving his son Bashar al-Assad with the power over Syria. Bashar attempted to gain support over his people with promises of reform throughout Syria, including a revolutionized economy. People soon began to protest because Bashar had not been following through with his promises. These protests arose and Bashar chose to fight his people rather than meet their demands. Conflict has risen in Syria because of poor political and geographical systems whether this be through the way Assad governs, or through the destruction of Syria.

Root cause analysis is a useful to critique the processes in the institution. It enables the user to identify the real cause other than the general conclusion and progress further to a corrective well planned process to remove or control the risk. In the example given, it is sad that the patient died after an elective procedure, which answers the question what happened? Why? Possibly (this will gathered from the team with the patient at that time) patient suffered a cardiac arrest on the operating table, why? A physician and cardiologist review was not done preoperatively to determine the patient's surgery risk level and this continues until a fine response is reached at. The investigation may identify for example, a failure in preoperative

The Syrian Civil War started with a few protesters speaking out against the government, and has resulted in a raging civil war involving multiple countries. Violence from the country itself and other countries do not bring an end to the war in sight as Syria continues to fight against terrorist groups and for peace. The Syrian Civil War follows the Crane Brinton Model to a large extent.

What started out as low-scale anti-government protests in 2011, have now uproared to an entire civil war throughout Syria, as well as involving other neighboring countries and outside nations. Over twelve million Syrians have been forced to leave and over 250,000 have already been killed. Jihadist militants from Islamic State are taking control over almost half the territory of Syria, as well as parts of Iraq, and the public claims that Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad is not taking the right or necessary steps to help find the solution to this chaos, which causes some countries to strongly encourage him to step down.

The initial protests that sparked the Syrian Civil War occurred in the context of the Arab Spring, a series of mass protests and uprisings that overtook the region beginning with the Tunisian uprising sparked by the self-immolation of a political dissident. The Tunisian Uprising ultimately led to the actual overthrow of the Tunisian government, but affairs were not to conclude so decisively in Syria. The Arab Spring protests writ large were inspired by Middle Easterners’ dissatisfaction with governments they viewed as overly repressive, corrupt, and non-representative, and the Assad regime, grown bloated and corrupt through forty-plus years of uninterrupted rule, certainly fit the bill. The Syrian government reacted in a predictably authoritarian fashion to protests, restricting movement and imprisoning those found guilty of supposedly seditious activities through the spring and summer of 2011, including simple anti-government graffiti (Fahim and Saad). Eventually, the military began to resort to open tactical opposition against mostly unarmed protestors, moving to militarily pacify the city of Daraa where the protests had begun in the late spring (BBC). Military dominance, though taken for granted in a nation that had been ruled

It all began with fighting in the streets in march of 2011in the south city of Deraa. The fighting was a result of a group of teenagers painting insurrection words on the side of a school wall. “The teens were later arrested and tortured as punishment” (Rogers). In response protesters took to the streets to express freedom in the political world and once and for all end misconducting within the city, Instead syrian security forces assailed the people, killing several, more began to rebel. War & Refugees, two words no one likes to hear and two words to describe the situation in Syria. Years of disagreements between the president Bashar al-Assad and those seeking to throw him from office have escalated into

After each question, he would write my response on a card and place it on his desk in sequential order.

I agree, when a company’s reputation is damaged, the first step back to respectability must be intense self examination and reflection (Zeleny, 2008). The company must identify what aspects of their business practices and/or organizational culture enabled their fall from grace. Sadly, after going this process of root cause analysis, far too many times, corporations identify they simply strayed away from the organizational values and core principles they originally established at the inception of their company. Once they’ve identify the root causes of their issues, it’s critical that everyone in the organization, shareholders, executives, and employees are aligned, committed, and involved in the process of restoring the company’s reputation
