    Access information on root cause analysis on the Joint Commission on
    Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations website: jointcommission.org/. The
    specific forms needed are located under the category “sentinel event.” Select “forms
    and tools.” Specifically you will need the “Root Cause Analysis Matrix,” and the “Framework
    for Conducting a Root-CauseAnalysis and Action Plan.” The matrix gives
    examples of specific types of sentinel events with a heavy emphasis on the
    occurrences in the acute care setting, but will apply equally in other settings. The
    framework form can be downloaded and saved to disk (the name of the document
    is rcaframework.doc).
