WHAT IS A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Applying a Root Cause Analysis to a social problem, public health issue, or human error in the workplace, facilitates a systemic tracing of the origins of an issue or event.
MindTools identifies three basic types of causes:
- Physical causes
- Human causes
- Organizational causes
Please watch the video on Mind Tools to get a sense of the meaning and purpose of a Root Cause Analysis:

The assignment is on root cause analysis.
The topic I chose was: Why are childbirth costs in the US so expensive
Answer the five Whys with a question and an analysis for each question. Your responses should be evidence based. By the fifth “Why,” you should have an explanation. Use at least THREE external sources, in addition to sources made available. Don’t forget to include in-text citations.
Do not use quotes or excerpts. This is a short assignment, therefore quoting other sources is not allowed. Instead, summarize in your own words and then cite.
Avoid Wikipedia, Dictionary, and other secondary sources. Think sociologically when analyzing this healthcare issue; consider the macrocosm affecting cost, access and quality of care in healthcare.
Your bibliography should be written out in APA style
