March, 2020
Description:
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a health care risk management program.
Conduct research on approaches to risk management processes, policies, and concerns in your
current or anticipated professional arena to find an example of a risk management plan. Look for
a plan with sufficient content to be able to complete this assignment successfully. In a
1,0001,250-word paper, provide an analysis of the risk management plan that includes the
following:
1. Summary of the type of risk management plan you selected (new employee, specific
audience, community focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example.
Describe the health care organization to which the plan applies and the role risk
management plays in that setting.
2. Description of the standard administrative steps and processes in a typical health care
organization's risk management program compared to the administrative steps and
processes you identify in your selected example plan. (Note: For standard risk
management policies and procedures, look up the MIPPA-approved accrediting body that
regulates the risk management standards in your chosen health care sector, and consider
federal, state, and local statutes as well.)
3. Analysis of the key agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe
health care in your area of concentration and an evaluation of the roles each one plays in
the risk management oversight process.
4. Evaluation of your selected risk management plan's compliance with the standards of its
corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to privacy, health care worker
safety, and patient safety.
5. Proposed recommendations or changes you would implement in your risk management
program example to enhance, improve, or secure the aforementioned compliance
standards.
