Proprietary Frameworks
ResusLogix's diagnostic approach is underpinned by a suite of proprietary frameworks developed to systematically identify, analyze, and articulate clinical risk within resuscitation-critical systems. These methodologies move beyond conventional audits, focusing on the intricate interplay of human behavior, organizational structure, and operational intelligence.
How Our Frameworks Work Together
These four frameworks are not applied in isolation. Rather, they work synergistically to create a comprehensive diagnostic picture. Behavioral Systems Engineering provides the lens for understanding human factors. Authority-Asymmetry Analysis reveals how organizational hierarchies create vulnerabilities. Failure Pattern Classification identifies the recurring modes of breakdown. And Intelligence-Derived Operational Mapping synthesizes all of this into actionable, specific recommendations for your organization.
Understanding how human behavior and organizational systems interact to create risk.

This framework integrates principles of human factors, cognitive psychology, and systems theory to dissect how individual and collective behaviors contribute to or mitigate risk in high-stakes clinical environments. We analyze decision-making under pressure, communication pathways, the impact of organizational culture on clinical performance, and how cognitive biases influence behavior in critical moments. By understanding the behavioral architecture of your system, we can identify where human factors create vulnerabilities and where they can be leveraged for resilience.
Applications:
- • Team communication dynamics analysis
- • Decision-making under pressure assessment
- • Cognitive bias identification in clinical workflows
- • Organizational culture impact on safety
- • Training effectiveness evaluation
Identifying how power gradients and communication hierarchies create systemic vulnerabilities.

Our Authority-Asymmetry Analysis examines how gradients of authority and communication hierarchies within acute care settings can inadvertently create vulnerabilities. This framework uncovers instances where critical information flow is impeded by perceived power imbalances, where necessary interventions are delayed due to deference to authority, or where expertise is underutilized because of hierarchical constraints. We identify the specific points where authority asymmetries create friction, silence, or delayed action—often the precursors to systemic failures.
Applications:
- • Hierarchical communication barrier identification
- • Information flow impedance analysis
- • Expertise utilization assessment
- • Intervention delay pattern recognition
- • Authority gradient optimization
Moving beyond individual incidents to identify archetypal failure modes.

We employ a rigorous Failure Pattern Classification system to categorize and understand recurring systemic breakdowns. This involves moving beyond incident-specific reviews to identify archetypal failure modes that manifest across different clinical scenarios, departments, and time periods. By classifying these patterns, we provide leadership with a predictive understanding of where and how their systems are most likely to fail. This enables targeted and effective preventative strategies rather than reactive incident management.
Applications:
- • Incident pattern recognition across time and context
- • Archetypal failure mode identification
- • Predictive risk assessment
- • Preventative intervention targeting
- • Early warning system development
Creating detailed, evidence-based maps of where risk accumulates in your operations.

This methodology involves creating detailed, intelligence-derived maps of operational workflows within resuscitation-critical systems. Unlike standard process mapping, our approach integrates data from behavioral observations, communication analysis, structural assessments, and failure pattern analysis to highlight points of friction, potential bottlenecks, and areas where latent risks are most likely to accumulate. This provides a granular, evidence-based view of systemic vulnerabilities, guiding precise intervention planning for resilience and optimization.
Applications:
- • Workflow friction point identification
- • Bottleneck analysis and optimization
- • Latent risk accumulation mapping
- • Intervention prioritization
- • System resilience planning
The Diagnostic Process
Phase 1: System Immersion
We begin by immersing ourselves in your operational environment. This involves observing workflows, attending key meetings, interviewing leadership and frontline staff, and understanding the historical context of your organization. This phase is critical for building credibility and identifying the informal systems that often matter more than the formal ones.
Phase 2: Behavioral Analysis
Using Behavioral Systems Engineering principles, we analyze how your team communicates, makes decisions, and responds to pressure. We identify communication patterns, authority dynamics, and the subtle ways organizational culture influences behavior. This phase reveals the human factors that either support or undermine your formal systems.
Phase 3: Pattern Recognition
We apply Failure Pattern Classification to identify recurring breakdowns and near-misses. By looking across incidents, departments, and time periods, we identify archetypal failure modes that your organization is susceptible to. This moves beyond individual incidents to systemic patterns.
Phase 4: Operational Mapping
We create detailed, intelligence-derived maps of your operational workflows, highlighting where risk accumulates, where authority asymmetries create friction, and where interventions would have the greatest impact. This phase synthesizes all previous findings into a comprehensive diagnostic picture.
Phase 5: Strategic Dialogue
We present our findings to leadership in a structured, actionable format. We discuss implications, explore intervention options, and help leadership understand the strategic choices available to them. Implementation and remediation decisions remain with your organization.
