BHA FPX 4004 Assessment 2

Part One: Risk Management Policy and Procedure Purpose Statement

The purpose of this policy and procedure is to establish a terrain of safety for both our cases and workers by 

• trouble with Elimination, Reduction, and Management To identify, reduce, and manage risks and vulnerabilities to cases, as well as to the sanatorium’s information systems and operations. 
• Optimizing Care Delivery To maximize openings for delivering optimal care while minimizing adversities. 
• Enhancing Patient Safety To identify, resolve, and help implicit risks throughout the sanatorium’s departments, with a central focus on patient safety and care. 

Definitions

• trouble prevention Precautionary measures are taken to cease foreseeable risks (Hofmann & Scordis, 2018). Example Quarterly and annual review of hospital emergency procedure manuals. 
• trouble reduction abating the probability of troublesome circumstances (Hofmann & Scordis, 2018). illustration Calling for proper hand hygiene to reduce sanatorium infections. 
• Regulatory Compliance Adherence to programs, laws, or recommendations for applicable healthcare guidelines and functional practices (Dückers et al., 2009). illustration adhering to TJC’s case safety procedure of proper patient identification. 
• Case Safety enterprise and protections in healthcare aimed at precluding adverse damages towards cases (Dückers et al., 2009). illustration: icing all bed rails are in the upright position to cover cases from the waterfall. 
• Adverse Event Incidents performing in detriment to a case, sanatorium hand, or frequenter. illustration Case of slip and fall due to a wet spot on the bottom (Dückers et al., 2009). 
• Near Miss A prevented detriment that could have resulted in gratuitous detriment to a case, hand, or frequenter (Dückers et al., 2009). illustration A nurse noticing a distinction in patient information before administering medicines. 

Risk Categories and Identification Techniques

• Legal and Regulatory Compliance Measures taken to stick to healthcare programs and laws (Lee, Chang, & McCombs, 2019). illustration Compliance with the civil 340B Drug Program. 
• Clinical and Patient Safety Focus on patient safety enterprise and reducing patient fall numbers (Nedved et al., 2012). 
• Technology Integrations administering precautionary measures to cover against cyber attacks (Ayatollahi & Shagerdi, 2017). 
• contagious complaint Preparedness strategies to cover workers and cases from contagious conditions (Rebmann, Carrico & English, 2007). 

Risk Management Strategies

• Employee Education Annual training modules on trouble operation strategies. 
• Attestation Complete and accurate documentation of all trouble circumstances. 
• Departmental Preparedness Promoting departmental cohesiveness on swish practices. 
• Case enterprises probing and resolving patient enterprises. 
• Participation in checks participating in state, civil, or nonsupervisory checks (Ayatollahi & Shagerdi, 2017). 

Risk Categories

• Cybersecurity guarding patient health information and sanatorium data (Ayatollahi & Shagerdi, 2017). 
• Health Information Management (HIM): Managing compliance and preventing rendering vulnerabilities (Scott, 2015). 
• Billing and Collections: Ensuring error-free billing to avoid denials in claims (Scott, 2015). 

Risk Manager Role

The trouble director is responsible for administering programs and programs to identify, estimate, and help risks throughout the sanatorium system (Seckel, 2013). 

Part Two: Application of Risk Management Principles

The implicit trouble being analyzed is case identification crimes. These crimes can disrupt patient care and lead to gratuitous damages (Clancy, 2005). 

Risk Identification

Strategies for relating patient identification crimes include sanatorium-wide checks and frontline staff education (Thomas & Evans, 2004). 

Risk Reduction and Elimination

To reduce case identification crimes, changes to current processes, hand training, and IT safeguards are recommended (Cunningham, 2012). 

Conclusion

Effective trouble operation programs can enhance patient safety and reduce crimes (Benson, 2017).
