Risk Mitigation Strategies

It is difficult to evaluate the street network accessibility after a large earthquake occurs. In this paper, we construct a model to evaluate the street network accessibility for wide-area emergency behaviors under the condition of property damage in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area after a large earthquake. Additionally, we analyze the relationships between a local environment and street network accessibility by using multiple regression analysis. Finally, we discuss some important factors for evaluating risk mitigation strategies.

Risk Mitigation Strategies

To improve the accessibility of emergency vehicles after a large earthquake, it is important to quantify the effects of risk mitigation strategies. In this paper, using a simulation model that describes the movement of emergency vehicles amidst property collapse after a large earthquake, we evaluate street network accessibility in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Moreover, by analyzing the relationships between local environments and street network accessibility, we discuss the effects of risk mitigation strategies on improving street network accessibility.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> At the time of a large earthquake, property collapse (e.g., building collapse and street blockage) will obstruct emergency activities (e.g., firefighting activity and ambulance service) and cause the expansion of secondary damage. For reducing the secondary damage of a large earthquake, it is important to assess the accessibility of emergency activity under property collapse. However, the accessibility index, which can evaluate the emergency activity considering the effect of property collapse, is not developed nor applied in actual urban area. In this paper, we propose the street network accessibility: indices of assessing the movement of emergency vehicles. Then, we construct a simulation model that describes property collapse and the movement of emergency vehicles. Performing the simulation in Tokyo Metropolitan Area, we evaluate the damage of each building/street and assess the street network accessibility after a large earthquake. Finally, analysing the relationships among indices, we indicate that it is important to evaluate the street network accessibility from multiple viewpoints.</p>

Abstract Disclaimer In an effort to expedite the publication of articles related to the COVID-19 pandemic, AJHP is posting these manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted online before technical formatting and author proofing. These manuscripts are not the final version of record and will be replaced with the final article (formatted per AJHP style and proofed by the authors) at a later time. Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify potential failure points in a new chemotherapy preparation technology and to implement changes that prevent or minimize the consequences of those failures before they occur using the failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) approach. Methods An FMEA was conducted by a team of medication safety pharmacists, oncology pharmacists and technicians, leadership from informatics, investigational drug, and medication safety services, and representatives from the technology vendor. Failure modes were scored using both Risk Priority Number (RPN) and Risk Hazard Index (RHI) scores. Results The chemotherapy preparation workflow was defined in a 41-step process with 16 failure modes. The RPN and RHI scores were identical for each failure mode because all failure modes were considered detectable. Five failure modes, all attributable to user error, were deemed to pose the highest risk. Mitigation strategies and system changes were identified for 2 failure modes, with subsequent system modifications resulting in reduced risk. Conclusion The FMEA was a useful tool for risk mitigation and workflow optimization prior to implementation of an intravenous compounding technology. The process of conducting this study served as a collaborative and proactive approach to reducing the potential for medication errors upon adoption of new technology into the chemotherapy preparation process.
