Patient safety, staff moral and system performance are at the heart of healthcare delivery. Investigation of adverse outcomes is one strategy that enables organisations to learn and improve. Healthcare is now understood as a complex, possibly the most complex, socio-technological system. Despite this the use of a 20th century linear investigation model is still recommended for the investigation of adverse outcomes. In this review the authors use data gathered from the investigation of a real life healthcare near incident and apply three different methodologies to the analysis of this data. They compare both the methodologies themselves and the outputs generated. This illustrates how different methodologies generate different system level recommendations. The authors conclude that system based models generate the strongest barriers to improve future performance. Healthcare providers and their regulatory bodies need to embrace system based methodologies if they are to effectively learn from, and reduce future, adverse outcomes.

The stationary characteristics of an n-component periodic review system which is subject to stochastic deterioration (but not to failure) are investigated. When the n-component vector which expresses the state of deterioration of the system pierces a certain surface the entire multicomponent system is replaced by items of identical cost structure at the time of the next review. In the absence of this situation nothing is replaced. It is assumed that there is a fixed cost associated with each replacement and that the operating cost of each item is a strictly increasing function of its state of deterioration. The conditions for minimizing the long-term cost of maintaining a system which operates under the stated policy were found through solution of a problem in variational calculus. Two examples are worked. A useful graph which aids in the solution of such problems is provided.
