Webinar: Connecting The Dots: How to Achieve a Comprehensive and Holistic View of Risk in Health Care

Healthcare provider organizations (HPOs) understand that risk isn’t limited to clinical operations. However, many struggle to connect traditional clinical risk management to broader enterprise risk initiatives. Jay Lechtman, Riskonnect’s vice president of strategy and innovation for healthcare, will demonstrate the benefits of taking an integrated approach to healthcare enterprise risk. This approach will help your organization connect the dots: between leading and lagging indicators, between risk assessments/investigations and corrective actions and — ultimately — between traditional clinical risk management and organizational strategy.

Objectives:

• Identify current challenges in operationalizing health care enterprise risk management
• Describe how one health system is creating a fully integrated risk management program
• Determine how to measure the value of integrated risk management – operationally and financially
