Sentinel events were identified under JCAHO [Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations] accreditation policies to help aid in root cause analysis and to assist in development of preventative measures. Sentinel events are tracked by the Joint Commission in a database to ensure events are adequately analyzed and undesirable trends or decreases in performance are caught early and mitigated. Specific sentinel events include : infant abduction or discharge to the wrong family, gross medical errors(i. e. operating on wrong patient or body part), maternal mortality, rape in a continuous care setting, and suicide in a continuous care setting. 2, record 3, English, - sentinel%20event

La notion «d'événement sentinelle» tend à englober non seulement des événements à conséquence majeure mais, également, des événements dont l'occurrence comporterait un risque significatif d'entraîner des résultats défavorables importants. De tels événements sont appelés «sentinelles» parce qu'ils alertent sur le besoin d'effectuer une enquête et d'apporter une réponse le plus rapidement possible. 4, record 3, French, - %C3%A9v%C3%A9nement%20sentinelle

Equipment maintenance organisations were once judged for their ability to react quickly to breakdowns and how long it took to get equipment working again... Today, though, smart equipment maintenance managers are busy replacing these old values with higher-level paradigms of excellence. These managers are essentially working themselves out of their old jobs and inventing new ones with titles that include terms such as reliability engineering, asset management, asset utilisation, availability management and risk management. This new breed of manager uses modern technology and analysis techniques to attack the root cause of equipment failures and to eliminate the need for maintenance intervention whenever possible. 1, record 5, English, - maintenance%20intervention
