Assessment 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 1,250?1,500 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.
