Use of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for Risk Analysis of Drug Use in Patients with Lung Cancer
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health(2022)
Abstract
It is crucial to investigate the risk factors inherent in the medication process for cancer patients since improper antineoplastic drug use frequently has serious consequences. As a result, the Severity, Occurrence, and Detection rate of each potential failure mode in the drug administration process for patients with lung cancer were scored using the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) model in this study. Then, the risk level of each failure mode and the direction of improvement were investigated using the Slacks-based measure data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model. According to the findings, the medicine administration process for lung cancer patients could be classified into five links, with a total of 60 failure modes. The risk of failure modes for patient medication and post-medication monitoring ranked highly, with unauthorized use of traditional Chinese medicine and folk prescription and unauthorized drug addition (incorrect self-medication) ranking first (1/60); doctor prescription was also prone to errors. The study advises actively looking at ways to decrease the occurrence and difficulty of failure mode detection to continually enhance patient safety when using medications.
