risk management policy and procedure 4

  • RISK MANAGEMENT’S PURPOSE

  • Write a 3-4 page risk management policy and procedure for a health care organization. Analyze a specific issue that occurred in a health care organization and apply risk management best practices to it for the purpose of early risk identification and risk reduction or elimination in the future.Health care organizations have always searched for ways to identify and reduce risks. An organization’s ability to identify and analyze its risk exposure is a determining factor in the effectiveness of its risk management program (Hoarle, 2015). Early identification and analysis are essential. Current health care risk management practices developed in the mid-1970s as a result of a surge in malpractice suits. These suits caused rapid increases in claims costs for the industry and later in insurance premiums. Today, health care delivery systems and organizations realize the value of risk management and have developed formalized programs (Hoarle, 2015). In addition, organizations have established mechanisms to review potential incidents of risk and safety concerns (Pelletier & Beaudin, 2018). While risk management programs are responsible for daily management and risk operations, all health care stakeholders are responsible to participate in activities that will reduce unnecessary risks and improve safety and quality (Hoarle, 2015). This second course assessment consists of two parts. You are to assume the role of a new risk manager within your organization’s risk management department. According to your director, employees lack awareness of the organization’s risk management program. Likewise, departments inconsistently apply risk management principles. As a result of these deficiencies, your director has given you your first assignment.

    PART ONE: RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE

    Your director has asked you to write a formal risk management policy and procedure for the organization.

    PART TWO: APPLICATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES TO A SPECIFIC INCIDENT

    In addition to the policy and procedure, your director has asked you to apply your knowledge of risk management principles to a specific organizational risk that has occurred. You will select one of the three incidents from the Vila Health: Patient Safety media piece from Assessment 1. These incidents included a patient identification error, a medication error, and a HIPAA/privacy violation. Select the risk that holds the most interest for you. Your director believes that the organization’s newly written risk management policy and procedure, coupled with your analysis from a risk management standpoint of a recent, specific incident that occurred, will help employees (and the organization) recognize how the hospital’s risk management program contributes to the overall organization’s safety and quality improvement efforts.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Part One: Risk Management Policy and Procedure (3–4 pages)

    As the new risk manager in your health care organization, your director has assigned you responsibility for drafting the organization’s risk management policy and procedure. This assignment stemmed from your director’s perception that employees lacked knowledge and awareness of risk management’s contribution to furthering the organization’s safety and quality improvement efforts. Likewise, your director also saw evidence that departments within the organization were inconsistently applying risk management principles to their daily work practices.The guidance you have received from your director about writing this policy and procedure is that it needs to include all of the following headings. It also needs to answer all of the questions underneath each heading:

    • Purpose Statement:
      • How can a risk management program help this organization advance its strategic safety and quality goals?
    • Key Risk Management Terms:
      • What is the definition for each of these risk management terms?
        • Risk prevention.
        • Risk reduction.
        • Regulatory compliance.
        • Patient safety.
        • Adverse event.
        • Near miss.
    • Risk Categories and Risk Identification Techniques:
      • What are the major risk categories in health care? In your answer, be sure to explain each risk category and to provide relevant examples from the literature to illustrate your points.
      • What risk management strategies will the organization use to identify potential organizational risks? Be sure your narrative identifies and describes such risk identification techniques as concurrent, retrospective, incident reporting, and previous trends. ‹Note: These are only a few of the risk identification techniques to address in your policy and procedure. Be sure to include other examples you are aware of from your professional experience or from reviewing your suggested resources.
      • What are examples of risk categories and their appropriate corresponding risk identification techniques? For example, coding errors are a type of financial risk. Retrospective auditing is the risk identification technique used to identify this risk type.
    • Risk Manager’s Role in Program Implementation and Compliance:
      • What is the risk manager’s role in risk management program implementation and compliance?
      • How can a risk manager impact effective management of the organization’s risk management program?
      • What is one example from the literature that shows how the risk manager role can positively impact a health care organization’s management of its risk management program?
    Part Two: Application of Risk Management Principles to a Specific Incident (3–4 pages)

    To further help employees and the organization at large see risk management’s contribution to helping the organization achieve its safety and quality goals, your director has asked you to analyze and apply risk management principles to a recent incident that occurred in the organization. Your director has asked you to include all of the following headings in your analysis and to address all of the questions underneath each heading.

    • Risk Description:
      • Which potential risk to your organization from the Vila Health: Patient Safety simulation are you analyzing? These included patient identification error, medication error, and a HIPAA/privacy violation.
    • Risk Implications:
      • What are the risks to patients, employees, and to the organization if this particular risk is not addressed? In other words, what could happen if the organization chooses to do nothing?
    • Risk Identification:
      • What risk management strategies and techniques will the organization employ to identify this type of risk in the future? For example, will the organization identify this type of risk by analyzing incident report data? What other strategies might the organization employ to identify the risk? Be sure to include your rationale for choosing the particular strategy(ies).
    • Risk Reduction/Elimination:
      • What risk management best practices could the organization employ to eliminate or reduce the risk in the future? For example, if you plan to identify the risk by analyzing incident report data, would you conduct a drill down to determine what is causing the risk? What other best practices might you employ? Consult your suggested resources for guidance on best practices for eliminating and reducing risk.
      • What steps would you take to implement your plan to eliminate or reduce your selected risk?

    ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

    • Length: Your risk management policy and procedure assessment will be 6–8 double-spaced pages, not including title and reference pages.
    • Font: Times New Roman, 12-point.
    • APA Format: In the health care environment, typically a policy and procedure and analysis document would not be written according to APA style and format. To make this assessment as authentic as possible to what you might actually encounter in the workplace, the body of your assessment does not need to conform to APA guidelines. Do make sure that it is clear, persuasive, organized, and well written without grammatical, punctuation, or spelling errors. At the same time, health care is an evidence-based field. As such, your title and reference pages need to conform to APA format and style guidelines. Likewise, you also must cite your sources according to APA guidelines. Your leaders may question you about the sources of the information you are providing them.
    • Scoring Guide: Please review this assessment’s scoring guide to ensure you understand how your faculty member will evaluate your work.

    Review the included ISACA built risk case. You will need to complete the tasks identified in the later part of these slides labeled To Do. Re-evaluate the probability and risk level for all of the rows in table 2. When you make your decision on the new probability rating, you will need to justify this with one to two peer reviewed articles. When you identify the new risk level, you will need to identify two to three peer reviewed articles as examples or sources to justify the changes. Don’t just move it up or down, use current news and trends with similar companies to justify why you moved or even kept it the same. For each item, run a Quantitative or Qualitative risk analysis for a proposed mitigation. In other words, find a fix for each item and put a price tag with it. Decide what items are in budget and make your choice. You will add three new columns to table 2, one will be a proposed mitigation plan with budget and risk level from the FAIR methodology, and the second column will be if your risk decision (accept, mitigate, transfer, avoid). You will also need to answer the 10 discussion questions at the end of the slides and submit those with your spreadsheet, either as a second page with answers in the cells or as separate document.
