Overview
Every time you complete an occurrence report for a near-miss medication error or review a clinical policy and procedure with the nurse manager, you are involved in a risk-reduction effort. Healthcare risk management is the process the organization uses to identify, evaluate, and manage risk and potential liability exposure. The objective is for adverse outcomes to be limited by establishing systems to prevent or identify errors before they affect care, and in the event errors occur, to mitigate loss exposure. This module will reinforce and strengthen the understanding nurses have of risk management in healthcare and suggest risk reduction tools to mitigate exposure to professional liability.
