Abstract: Objective To explore the application of Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis Using (HFMEA) Model in safety management of operation room and its effect.Methods We set up a HFMEA Model team in January 2013 which aimed at assessing causes of failure in the process of operation with the application of HFMEA Model and finding out corresponding methods to resolve these problems so as to take rectification measures to prevent the occurrence of failure mode. The incidence of adverse events of nursing in operation room, RPN of failure mode and patients' satisfaction rate before and after the application of HFMEA model were compared.Results After the application of HFMEA Model, the incidence of all kinds of adverse events of nursing in operation room reduced obviously. RPN of failure mode which influenced nursing safety of operation reduced from 2014 to 474 with statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients' satisfaction rate increased from 80.20% to 92.12% with statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion With the application of HFMEA Model, the failure of nursing in the process of operation can be predicted, the major target for improving safety of operation room can be determined and the nursing safety of operation can be ensured with the implementation of corresponding measures.
