Learn What Healthcare Risk Management is About
Risk Management takes many forms. Financial risk management, for example, is an exercise in research and computation. Financial risk management can be done without ever leaving the confines of an office. Workplace risk management, on the other hand, involves real world activities as varied as design, construction, workplace practices and training. In healthcare risk management, there was a time when healthcare risk management referred to the care and education of the patient. The healthcare professional advised the patient on medicine, diet, nutrition, exercise, cleanliness and other issues so that the patient was empowered to take personal steps that reduced the patient’s risk of injury and illness and increased the patient’s chances of healing and recovery.
