Recommended by American Society for Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM), this comprehensive resource offers everything from the basics of program development to the more sophisticated concepts of enterprise risk management. This is a very necessary reference and resource book, a standard in the field.

The most authoritative techniques and practices of today's health care risk management professionals are presented in this handbook, contributed by more than 50 practicing risk managers, attorneys and insurance professionals. Plus, it has been thoroughly revised, updated and expanded. Current information, regulatory and legal updates, and assessment tools will prove to be valuable references to both new and seasoned risk management professionals. The book includes vital insights on:

  • patient safety

  • risk financing

  • emergency preparedness

  • and more.

It presents the concept of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), which encourages the evaluation of all risk exposures confronting an organization. ERM supports a comprehensive and integrated risk management program strategy to help ensure the efficient delivery of the safe and trusted health care that patients expect. The concept of enterprise risk management, which incorporates the evaluation of all risk exposures confronting an organization, is introduced as the strategic way to help ensure the efficient delivery of safe and trusted health care. Effective handling of risk management has direct impact upon your financial outlook, your compliance with regulatory bodies and the reputation of your organization.
