Risk management and the medical profession
Abstract
Explores the need for risk management in a health care setting in both financial and personal terms. Sets out the stages of a risk management programme. Stresses the need to incorporate such a programme in every hospital setting in order to reduce negligence claims so that scarce resources can be directed more towards patient care. The identification, analysis and control of risks support the assets, good name and earning capacity of a hospital.
