Risk Management
Risk management programs aim to identify hazards and mitigate potential litigation or patient harm.
Risk Identification
- Incident reporting (not placed in the medical record)
- Near-miss reporting
- Equipment safety checks
- Fall prevention protocols
Safety Reporting
- Never mention an incident report in the charting
- Reporting is meant to be non-punitive
- Focus on system failures rather than individual blame
