Risk Management Fundamentals

Managing risks and striving to keep patients safe is utmost for healthcare organizations. Despite serious and widespread efforts to improve healthcare quality, however, preventable harm to patients occurs every day. An established approach to mitigating risks in organizations will ensure success in providing quality care to patients and financial sustainability. This program explores the concept of risk management, the evolution of enterprise risk management, and the risk management decision-making process. The program also covers the development of a risk program, the roles and scope of a risk management professional, the elements of a risk management plan, and the overarching concept of patient safety.
