Risk Management in Healthcare

While providing medical care, health care providers must keep patients and staff safe. Still, nearly 43 million adverse events—such as misdiagnoses, medication errors, or infections—occur during medical treatment each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). By managing certain risks, we can minimise the likelihood of adverse events and other issues that impact the care quality and efficiency, employee safety, and exposure to liability and malpractice lawsuits. 2 Ethics CPD points has been allocated.
