Seasoned leaders from a variety of settings. They are healthcare risk management professionals who practice in risk financing, claims administration, insurance, patient safety, ethics, compliance and other domains covered in the courses.
What is the format?
Methods of instruction include lecture, discussion, classroom exercises, case study and optional final exam. While faculty refer to the Risk Management Handbook for Healthcare Organizations (5th edition), Participants do not need to bring the book.
Should the modules be taken sequentially?
Yes. Each module’s content rises from one to the next. Essentials is an ideal educational base for new risk managers, and an excellent up-to-date refresher for more experienced professionals. As the next step, Applications shows how principles described in Essentials actually work in the real world. The Advanced Forum consists of expertly guided, small-group analysis of complex challenges and is most beneficial when all participants are able to share their proven solutions.
