Structured What If Technique

Structured What If Technique (SWIFT) is a prospective hazards analysis method that uses structured brainstorming with guide words and prompts to identify risks,[1] with the aim of being quicker than more intensive methods like Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).[2][3] It is used in various settings,[2] including healthcare.[1][3][4]

Limitations

As with other methods, SWIFT may not be comprehensive and the approach has some limitations. In a healthcare context, SWIFT was found to reveal significant risks, but like similar methods (including healthcare failure mode and effects analysis) it may have limited validity when used in isolation.[3]

gollark: Alternately, it might work to set the href in said handler.

gollark: You can have an onclick handler do preventDefault and set the URL itself although that breaks ctrl+click probably.

gollark: Yes, kind of. Why?

gollark: I should make a novel* interesting** esolang via weird command encoding.

gollark: Perhaps this is foolish.
