Organizational Risk Management Interview
Tiffany Hunt is a registered nurse at Oroville hospital working in endoscopy. She has
been working as a nurse for seven years. She has worked intimately with risk management
implementing risk management plans and helping create these plans. The following essay will
examine the interview I conducted with Tiffany regarding risk management.
Strategies
Risk management in healthcare is a set of key procedures that help healthcare workers
prevent injury in patients from medical errors, falls, and errors in identification. Tiffany states
that within her hospital they access each patient for risks ensuring the procedure will not cause
further risk to the patient. This hospital also has a complex drug dispensing system to help each
staff member administer the correct amount of medication. The hospital has a two-person cosign
system in use for high-risk medication. In this system two staff members who are authorized to
give medication must sign that it was given to the patient in the correct dosage. This same
process applies to disposal of narcotics and other high-risk medications.
Education
Education on risk management is important in helping all staff members understand the
key aspects of the risk management plan. The hospital provides each staff member with training
annually. These training courses are split up into key categories to address all aspects of the risk
management plan the hospital carries, these include negligence, malpractice, and healthcare laws
such as HIPPA and antikick back laws. In addition to this yearly training the hospital mandates
that each staff member completes ongoing education with an emphasis on the specialty in which
they currently work. These ongoing education classes can range from stroke education to
advanced cardiac life support.
