SUMMARY
Objectives: To identify the risks in the magistral preparation in order to improve the safety of the usual procedures.
Methods: We used the methodology Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA). A multidisciplinary team identified potential failure modes of the procedure through a brainstorming. We assessed the impact associated with each failure mode with the Risk Priority Number (RPN), which involves three variables: occurrence, severity and detectability. Improvement measures were established for all identified failure modes, those with RPN > 100 are considered critical. The final RPN (theoretical) that would result from the proposed measures was also calculated and the process was redesigned.
Results: The process was divided in six sub-processes: reception and interpretation of the prescription, documentation, preparation of the data-processing, material preparation, magistral preparation and conditioning (packaging and labelling) and storage. 24 failure modes, with 38 cases and with varying effects (severity 6-2) were evaluated. The sub-processes with more failure modes with NPR >100 was the conditioning and storage. The most effective improvement measures were: implemented reinforcement training, train, train and stability in the post personnel and discard all magistral unidentified.
Conclusions: The FMEA methodology was a useful tool when applied to magistral preparation. It allowed us to reduce the risk significantly.
Key Words: Failure mode effect analysis, safety, quality, risk, master formulas.
