ASHRM is presenting a special webcast/audioconference for Healthcare Risk Management Week.

 

Healthcare organizations collect a wealth of data about the care they provide and losses they incur. How are risk management professionals successfully mining these data and using them to develop strategies that can improve patient safety?  

 

For this program – aimed at everyone concerned about the quality of healthcare – ASHRM brings together a diverse panel with clinical, financial and legal/regulatory expertise. These leaders will share risk management practices proven through real life case examples to show how enterprise-wide data collection methodologies, analysis and system improvements have minimized serious preventable events and financial, regulatory, and liability risks across the organization.

 

You are invited to join them as they share their practices for organizing their event data, employing a safety taxonomy, and conducting surveillance and benchmarking to monitor progress and improvement.

 

OBJECTIVES

 

Participants who complete this program will be able to:

• Describe the challenges facing the risk management professional in the capture and analysis of event data
• Discuss the roles and contributions of various clinical and administrative professionals in the capture and analysis of event data
• Highlight cases where data collection, analysis and practice changes reduced events and liability risks and improved outcomes and satisfaction across the organization
• Review strategies for using event data to initiate change and reduce serious preventable events
• Summarize practices for getting started in their own organization
