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 "asset" 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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
