	Root Cause Analysis
		This is generally referred to as Root Cause Analysis, finding the real cause of the problem and dealing with it rather than simply continuing to deal with the symptoms.
		Once the root cause is determined then it has to be determined whether it costs more to remove the root cause or simply continue to treat the symptoms.
		Even though it may be relatively easy to estimate the cost to remove the root cause it is generally very difficult to assess the cost of treating the symptom.

		Root cause analysis should uncover such opportunities to remedy, but clearly, as our primary goal for analysis, we want to design out of our operation the need for avoidable repair, rework, clean up, and expensive redesign.
		The team were using a proprietary root cause analysis method which is both rigorous in its approach and known to generate results in a good many instances.
		The key similarity between this method and root cause analysis is that both are built on the question ‘WHY?’ The first key difference is that, while root cause analysis has a voracious appetite for data, root contradiction analysis requires only that we gain a qualitative understanding of what is happening in a system.

		JCAHO defines a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) as a process for identifying the basic or casual factors that underlie variation in performance, including the occurrence or possible occurrence of a sentinel event.
		A RCA focuses primarily on systems and processes to common causes in organizational processes and identifies potential improvements in processes or systems that would tend to decrease the likelihood of such events in the future, or determines, after analysis, that no such improvement opportunities exists.
		The purpose of the RCA is to understand how and why a Sentinel or High Risk Event occurred and to prevent the same or similar Event from occurring in the future.

	Root Cause Analysis Blog: The Curse of Apparent Cause Analysis
		Relying on fixes to root causes derived from investigations of high frequency, low consequence incidents to prevent low frequency high consequence incidents is folly.
		The performance of apparant cause should not be to provide for a simply short cut method to identifiy corrective actions, but rather to provide for a reasonable basis for application of failure mode coding associated with high frequency low consequence events.
		The problem with apparent cause analyses that you may be reacting to is the willingness of an organization to make changes to their programs, organizations, or processes based on what you call a short cut approach.

	CONSEQUENCE - Root Cause Analysis
		Put quite simply Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a way of conducting an investigation into an identified problem that allows the investigator(s), and other involved parties, to understand better the root, or fundamental, cause of the problem so that it can be put right.
		RCA therefore is about finding effective solutions to one or a multitude of problems as speedily as is humanly and mechanically possible.
		All RCA critical incident reviews should be facilitated by a trained member of staff, to ensure that all causal and influencing factors are identified and effective solutions considered.

		Root cause analysis is a technique that you can use for every problem you encounter, from the trivial to the significant.
		If the root cause is outside of the team's control entirely, then solving the problem may be difficult or impossible.
