Course Description:
This course is part 1 of a 4-part series of the Empira Falls Series. Empira is a consortium of
Aging Service providers in Minnesota who created a successful falls program in the nursing
home setting based on Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and evidence-based research. This course
provides all staff in nursing homes with the key concepts, methodology, and tools of RCA to
assist in determining causation of problems, conditions, and situations. RCA is a structured
method of problem solving utilized to find out what happened and why it happened, and to
determine what can be done to prevent it from happening again. While it is frequently used when
something goes wrong, RCA can also be used when something goes right – to ensure that it
happens again. Focusing performance improvement operations at root causes is more effective
than merely treating the symptoms of problems.
