Program Description
The role of the health care risk manager continues to change to meet the needs of the dynamic health care industry. Recent data indicates that risk management is moving from a role of reactive respondent to claims to a proactive leadership function that supports open discussion about error, both internally and
externally. New skills, attitudes and awareness are required. By reviewing the past and current requirements of this role, the presenters set the stage for recommendations on how the risk manager can keep up with changes, as well as how to best position their role in the future.
