Failure mode effect analysis is a widely used method of prospectively detecting safety hazards, but evidence of its effectiveness is lacking. This study of 117 FMEAs from 3 hospitals in Sweden found that the recommended safety interventions were implemented in more than three-quarters of cases within a few years.
