As illustrated in the Investigation path of this lesson, an expanded investigation includes a root cause analysis, which reveals all the root causes of an event.

After the root causes have been determined (whether rough or actual), each root cause is assigned a code from the Eindhoven Classification Model Medical Version (ECM).

Labeling each cause with a particular code provides a way for the organization to analyze and compare root causes across a number of events.
