Disclosure of Unanticipated Events in 2013

It is a unique world that Healthcare Risk Managers live in; regarded as leaders which can result in periodic public belittlement. As reflected in the ASHRM vision, we see our role as advocates for safe and trusted healthcare. We recognize that by bestowing the best care to our patients we are also able to provide financial savings to the organizations we serve.

After a recent article that decried Healthcare Risk Managers as inhibitors of transparent care (Elliott, 2013), ASHRM resurrected the 2003 Monographs with the question: Are these as relevant today as they were ten years ago? Do risk managers support a culture of transparency? A recent peer review of the monographs resulted with a resounding “yes!”

HRM Week Webinar: Enterprise Risk Management from the Ground Up

Wednesday, June 19, 2013

All health care facility projects should be designed and constructed to facilitate the safe delivery of care. To support this goal, an interdisciplinary team must develop a safety risk assessment (SRA).

In this webinar, moderated by ASHRM President Andrew Oppenberg, guest speaker Ellen Taylor will review the new Safety Risk Assessment in the 2014 FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities. ASHRM past-president Michelle Hoppes will present key ERM concepts, while David Sine will explain how improved decision making, the development of methodology for assessing risk and a comprehensive approach to Enterprise Risk Management affect you, your job, your facility, and most importantly, your patient’s safety. Price: $49 per site for ASHRM, ASHE and AHA personal membership group members; $69 per site for nonmembers.
