JCAHO requires hospital and other healthcare organizations to perform one FMEA a year. Krouwer Consulting has developed software to help users fulfill this requirement. IFTF helps identify risks with process flowcharts and fault trees. FMEA is used to classify and rank risks and allows one to propose mitigations for the risks identified. These tools are commonly used in engineering and are also described in the ISO document, 14971: APPLICATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT TO MEDICAL DEVICES.  A tutorial / manual is included.

Developed in visual basic.net, the software is flexible and has among its features:

  • Create process flowcharts simply, by dragging shapes and lines - no additional software needed.
  • Fault tree and FMEA information stored in a database
  • FMEA record filters allow one to show only records that meet selected criteria
  • Export FMEA reports to pdf, Word, or Excel files
  • User configurable features allow conditional highlighting fault tree events with color
  • Risk Map and Risk Chart show a severity by probability display of events
  • Choose between two types of Pareto sorting
  • Part or all of one project can be loaded into another project

Krouwer Consulting  provides training in FMEAs. The use of fault trees while new to many people in hospitals, can actually streamline the FMEA process.
