Description: The purpose of this assignment is to analyze how an organization's quality and
improvement processes contribute to its risk management program.
This assignment builds on the Risk Management Program Analysis – Part One assignment you
completed in Topic 1 of this course.
Assume that the sample risk management program you analyzed in Topic 1 was implemented
and is now currently in use by your health care employer/organization. Further assume that your
supervisor has asked you to create a high level summary brief of this new risk management
program to share with a group of administrative personnel from a newly created community
health organization in your state who has enlisted your organization's assistance in developing
their own risk management policies and procedures.
Compose a 1,2501,500 word summary brief that expands upon the elements you first addressed
in the Topic 1 assignment. In this summary brief, address the following points regarding your
health care organization and its risk management program:
1. Explain the role of your organization's MIPPA-approved accreditation body (e.g., JC,
ACR, IAC) in the evaluation of your institution's quality improvement and risk
management processes.
2. Describe the roles that different levels of administrative personnel play in healthcare
ethics and establishing or sustaining employer/employee-focused organizational risk
management strategies and operational policies.
3. Illustrate how your organization's risk management and compliance programs support
ethical standards, patient consent, and patient rights and responsibilities.
4. Explain the legal and ethical responsibilities health care professionals face in upholding
risk management policies and administering safe health care at your organization.
5. Relate how your organization's quality improvement processes support and contribute to
its overall journey to excellence.
