Risk Management Program

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 concepts from the Topic 1 benchmark assignment.

Assume that the sample risk management program you analyzed in Topic 1 was implemented and is now currently in use by your health care organization. Further assume that your supervisor has asked you to create a high‐level report 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 have enlisted your organization’s assistance in developing their own risk management policies and procedures.

In a 1,000‐word report, address the following points regarding your health care organization and its risk management program:

• Explain the role of your organization’s Medicare Improvement for Patients and Provider Act (MIPPA)-approved accreditation body (e.g., JC, ACR, IAC) in the evaluation of your institution’s quality improvement and risk management processes.
• Describe the roles that different levels of administrative personnel play in health care ethics and establishing or sustaining employer- and employee-focused organizational risk management strategies and operational policies.
• Explain how your organization’s risk management and compliance programs support ethical standards, patient consent, informed consent, and patient rights and responsibilities.
• Explain the legal and ethical responsibilities health care professionals face in upholding risk management policies and administering safe health care at your organization.
• Explain how your organization’s quality improvement processes support and contribute to the prevention of sentinel events and to its overall journey to excellence.
• Communicate how to integrate the Christian perspective of human value and dignity, along with ethical decision-making as it relates to patients, families, and health care employees

In addition to your textbook and the GCU “Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work,” you are required to support your analysis with at least three credible health-related resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
