Risk Management in Healthcare During Pandemic
Course Description
Risk management in a hospital is complex, as it involves identifying, assessing and averting risks in virtually every area of the hospital. Managers should perform risk assessments to identify risks before problems occur rather than reacting to an event. Managers should conduct failure mode effects analyses, which score a process or product based on potential failures, the probability of these failures occurring, their likely frequency and the ability to detect them. The resulting risk score enables managers to proactively establish practices that will reduce or eliminate these risks for failure.
A lot of the same risk in safety situations that we see in a normal or non-crisis time that we would see now are situations involving patient safety and quality. To maintain a low-risk environment, risk managers need to standardize appropriate practices across the organization. Hardwiring these practices into people’s workflow requires managers to educate providers and staff, and establish redundancies that ensure certain steps are completed.
While risk managers have the main responsibility to identify risks, it would be difficult for them to detect every single risk throughout an entire organization. Instead, providers, staff members and leaders should be able and encouraged to report observed risks. Creating a “just” culture, a non-punitive environment in which people feel comfortable speaking up about areas of risk or near misses is crucial. Patient and health worker’s safety is everyone’s responsibility that must be carried out in the entire organization.
Workshop Objectives
Health Core is committed to providing health care leaders and staff with a set of core topics that serve as building blocks for improving quality and patient safety.
