The purpose of this assignment is to critically think through all aspects of risk management.
Assume that you have been newly hired as the manager of the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement team for a midsize hospital that will soon be opening a new wing. You will need to conduct a risk assessment analysis on the new wing and present it to the hospital board. Choose whether you will be assessing a new maternity unit, a new outpatient clinic, or a new supply and storage wing.
Refer to the ASHRM’s “Strategic Plan 2019-2021” resource for assistance in completing this assignment.
In a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation (not including title and reference slides), incorporate the following points:
- Describe the key elements of risk management.
- Identify key risk factors of the unit you chose that will need to be addressed.
- Legal, regulatory, and accrediting risk factors that will need to be addressed.
- Stakeholders that will need to be involved in the risk management process, along with their roles and the context of their involvement in the evaluation and decision-making process.
- Evaluate the hospital’s short-term strategic plan to mitigate and provide solutions for identified risks. How do these risk management solutions compare to the ASHRM’s strategic plan to improve risk management?
- Evaluate the hospital’s long-term strategic plan to mitigate and provide solutions for identified risks. How do these risk management solutions compare to the ASHRM’s strategic plan to improve risk management?
