Other barriers are that persons with relevant knowledge may not be available or may refuse to participate, one person may dominate the discussion, or some may stick to using only timeline method and limit the discussion.
b. Correct: Root cause analysis is used to investigate the causes of near misses, incidents, and sentinel events in health care.
