Risk management programs operate within health careRisk management programs operate
within health careThe purpose of this assignment is to gain real-world insight into how risk
management programs operate within health care organizations.Select a local health care
organization where you can conduct an interview with an employee who is involved in risk
management processes. This organization can be your current employer or a different
health care facility in your community. Acute care, urgent care, large multi?provider private
medical clinics, assisted living facilities, and community/public health clinical facilities are
all ideal options to complete the requirements of this assignment. Select an individual who
can provide sufficient information regarding how their organization manages risk within its
facility to answer the questions below.In your interview, address the following:Risk
management strategies used in the organization’s risk control program, along with specific
examples.How the facility’s educational risk management program addresses key
professional, legal, and ethical issues, such as prevention of negligence, malpractice
litigation, and vicarious liability.Policies the facility has implemented that address how to
manage emergency triage in high?risk areas of health care service delivery (e.g., narcotics
inventories, declared pregnancy policies, blood-borne disease sector, etc.).Challenges the
organization faces in managing and controlling high-risk health care (e.g., infectious
diseases, nuclear medicine, abortion, class 4 narcotics/opioids, etc.).Strategies the facility
utilizes to monitor, evaluate, and maintain compliance within its risk management
program.After conducting the interview, compose a 750?1,000 word summary analysis of
the interview that includes the questions above, in conjunction with the interviewee’s
responses. In addition, include the following elements in your response:An assessment of
the organization’s risk management program, including how it attends to high-risk health
care and legal concerns.Action steps you would take to improve one area of the
organization’s risk management program, along with your rationale for doing so.Cite
appropriate references as needed to your statements and rationale.Prepare this
assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is not
required.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread
your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
2. paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
