            <description>This article examines the law and demonstrates that healthcare entities are facing greater duties to safeguard patients' protected health information, as well as severe civil and criminal penalties should they fail to do so. In recognition of this heightened liability, healthcare entities must reassess their methods for handling patient data and take action in key areas to ensure that risk is contained.

            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20056</link>
            <description>This article applies the Betty Neuman Stressor Model, typically used in nursing education to explain illness causation of the patient, to educating healthcare workers on workplace stressors (i.e., hazards). Prevention strategies for dealing with workplace hazards are discussed in terms of bolstering flexible lines of defense or lines of resistance as described by this stressor model. Key hazards to include in a healthcare safety curriculum or in workplace safety training are provided. (Source: Journal of Healthcare Risk Management)</description>

            <title>The silent organizational pathology of insidious intimidation</title>
            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20055</link>
            <description>AbstractWhile organizations are valiantly striving to address acts of disruption among physicians and nurses, a silent and yet equally disruptive pathology is spreading through the veins of the organization. This behavior is found among all ranks and responsibilities, from the C‐suite to the housekeeping staff. It occurs daily and is rarely reported. It continues because its nature is such that it is difficult to measure, the victims often feel helpless, and the perpetrators are often those in positions that are not normally perceived to be as essential to the flow of patient care. Nonetheless, this insidious intimidation chills communication, reduces morale, and ultimately harms patients. Organizations that desire a culture of safety and comfort must address this behavior through indivi...</description>

            <title>Complaints, grievances, and claims against physicians: Does tort reform make a difference?</title>
            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20042</link>
            <description>This study reviews data available from a mediation committee (MC) for a county medical society, the Texas Medical Board (TMB), and the Texas Medical Liability Trust (TMLT) during the decade of Texas tort reform. It explores why some patients file formal complaints and grievances against their physicians. It also compares data from the TMB and TMLT to investigate how tort reform might influence their activities. Results show the majority of complaints or grievances mediated by the MC start with communication problems followed by allegations of inappropriate treatment, fees, medical records, and delays in diagnoses. Analysis of available data also suggests changes in liability rules may reduce liability claims while having little or no impact on mediated case trends or their triggers at leas...</description>

            <title>Communication and documentation of preliminary and final radiology reports</title>
            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20039</link>
            <description>The &quot;wet-read&quot; consultation has been defined as a rapid response to a clinical question posed by a physician to a radiologist. These preliminary interpretations are often not well documented, have poor fidelity, and are subject to modifications and revisions. Moreover, preliminary interpretations may be subject to reinterpretation through a variety of scenarios. Recent technological advances in radiology have further hindered the ability to harmonize differences between preliminary and final interpretations and communicate these differences to treating physicians. High-fidelity simulation may represent a risk management strategy aimed at bridging the gap between radiology and communication technology.

            <description>The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) mandated that Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs) begin reporting the number of serious reportable adverse events and hospital-acquired conditions received on Medicare claims. There are additional state mandates and health insurance plan requirements. The author provides an analysis of the reporting methodology and proposes an alternative approach using rate-based formulas that would yield information that is more useful.

            <title>Building confidence into communication of bad news: The role of the patient advocate</title>
            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20032</link>
            <description>The need for a patient advocate is greater than ever as medical errors continue to occur. News media quickly capture the egregious errors, but more errors are experienced by patients who suffer quietly. These patients know something wrong occurred during their hospitalization, but they choose to refrain from pursuing litigation against the providers. There also are thousands of individuals who never realize that a medical error occurred. In a patient- and family-centered care environment, patient advocates can bridge these issues by participating on the healthcare team that is involved with the initial disclosure of the event and by providing a caring relationship to assure the patient's voice is heard and understood.

            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20030</link>
            <description>Preventable adverse drug events have a direct impact on the well-being of patients. The creation and implementation of a patient-friendly daily medication schedule improved the way care is delivered at Memorial Healthcare System. The staff collaborated with patients and families and empowered them with the knowledge and tools needed to make their healthcare safer. Patient and family participation, a critical component of patient- and family-centered care, is a vital part of making healthcare safer. This tool enhances communication with patients and family members and enables patients to better understand the medications they receive while hospitalized. An additional welcomed byproduct is the prevention of potential medication errors. (Source: Journal of Healthcare Risk Management)</description>

            <description>Patient- and family-centered care is a healthcare approach that emphasizes collaboration among patients, families, and healthcare providers. The key concepts of patient- and family-centered care can be applied in any healthcare setting to enhance patient safety, reduce the risk of medical errors, improve risk management processes, and create an organizational culture supportive of risk managers and open, honest communication.

            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20028</link>
            <description>Patient- and family-centered care is not a new concept, but it has garnered increased interest and support during the last decade. While most healthcare providers are excellent at providing clinical care, the practice of addressing the myriad other patient and family needs requires a conscious and collaborative effort. Though the staff of hospitals and other patient settings across the country have achieved various degrees of successful implementation of patient- and family-centered care initiatives, the success has not been universal. An objective evaluation of patient- and family-centered initiatives is needed. However, underdeveloped evaluation processes should not prevent the implementation of best practices that already have shown demonstrable success. (Source: Journal of Healthcare R...</description>

            <title>In healthcare, is the human being an asset or liability?</title>
            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20022</link>
            <description>This article contrasts the application of preventive and predictive technologies in industry to those in healthcare. For years, risk managers have been discussing the rationing of care. This article presents the perspective of an engineering professional from the manufacturing industry who now consults with healthcare risk managers. The human being is often referred to as an &quot;asset&quot; in our society. Do we actually treat people as assets or liabilities? When preventive maintenance is routinely performed on a piece of equipment, the benefits are more reliable operations, increased productivity, and lower life cycle costs. If these proactive concepts are applied to the human body within our current healthcare systems, will we see these same benefits? (Source: Journal of Healthcare Risk Managem...</description>

            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20021</link>
            <description>This article reports that malpractice attorneys representing plaintiffs accept a small percentage of the clients who request legal representation for medical liability claims. Of those cases they do not accept, these attorneys report that a significant motivator for patients seeking legal counsel is poor clinician-patient communication. They cite poor listening skills; delegation of critical consent communication; failure to share timely information with colleagues and nursing personnel; failure to have meaningful, empathetic conversations when adverse outcomes occur; and defensive behavior when patients seek to learn more by questioning diagnoses and treatment options.

            <description>Effective onboarding is essential to the acclimation and socialization of new healthcare risk management professionals within their new organizations. This acclimation process is a natural extension of employee orientation training. Benefits of effective onboarding include maximizing new employees' full productivity in core functions, thereby recouping the organization's return on investment, and positioning them for enduring success.

            <description>Several formal roles within the field of human performance and training are specifically responsible for ensuring that programs are designed and developed for maximum impact. Data show that education and training are essential functions of healthcare risk management professionals. For this, healthcare risk management professionals can maximize their training efforts by partnering with an instructional designer or developer to create a training program that promotes safe and trusted healthcare.

            <description>Some charitable organizations and physicians are willing to assist in the compassionate donation of explanted pacemakers for reuse in medically underserved nations. However, healthcare organizations must recognize that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), device manufacturers, professional societies and many physicians advocate return of explanted pacemakers to the manufacturer to ensure an accurate performance database promoting improved device reliability and safety for the patient.

            <title>Reuse of single-use devices: Protecting your reprocessing program</title>
            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20012</link>
            <description>High-profile hepatitis C outbreaks in 2008 spurred the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's attention toward legislative and regulatory action in several states around the practice of reuse of single-use devices. Promulgated in the interest of public safety, some of these new regulations and laws can have a potential impact on hospitals' ability to access third-party reprocessing duly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.

            <description>The intensifying financial pressures bearing down on the American government and taxpayers due to egregious corporate mismanagement will focus increasing and unprecedented scrutiny on the business world. The risk management community believes a paradigm shift is at hand. Organizations of every kind will feel pressure to do more than they have in the past to understand the risks they face, expose and challenge every assumption they make, and take steps to quantify and appropriately mitigate the exposures they identify. This will not be an easy transition. Just as the healthcare community has struggled over the past 25 years with the paradigm shift from the unsystematic clinical experience to a more analytical, evidence-based approach, the corporate world will have to move from a traditional...</description>

            <link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fjhrm.20010</link>
            <description>Electronic health records (EHRs) are here to stay, and their use is expected to grow significantly in the future. It is incumbent on risk managers to ensure their use does not inhibit good provider-to-patient communication. Providing education and strategies on how to make the patient encounter meaningful while the provider uses an EHR may increase patient satisfaction and may contribute to a favorable professional liability loss experience. Risk managers also need to have an understanding of the capabilities of each specific EHR system in the facility, the implications of the ability to cut-and-paste information from one provider entry to another, and knowledge of how to control the risk that comes with both copying forward and delayed EHR documentation.

            <description>When I was elected president of ASHRM for 2009, I accepted the honor as an opportunity to help ASHRM reach new heights. My goal is to support the objectives and goals consistent with the mission, values, and strategic direction of this organization and to do that with integrity through service, teamwork, and innovation. This is a challenging year for all of us individually, which by extension makes it a challenge for ASHRM. Staying focused on my goal will be difficult, but my intention is to do just that.
