Risk Management has been a valuable and essential subject in projects and financial businesses but it is new to health care management. This presentation will help you understanding basics of Risk Managment.
Victoria Brazil - Putting the Patient into Patient SafetySMACC Conference
Patients are at risk – from the moment they begin their healthcare journey.
They are at risk of bad outcomes (as defined by us) and of bad experience (as can only be defined by them).
Patient safety experts like James Reason, and groups like the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) have prompted us to think about systems and complexity as sources of error – and supported strategies to remove predictable human fallibility as far as possible. This is important to make healthcare safer.
Vic Brazil’s talk suggests there is also a human face to patient safety - in the behaviour and attitude of healthcare practitioners and patients themselves......
We think too little of patients. We feel affronted if patient takes a different view of ‘evidence’ or of ‘risk’.
…and they think too much of us....! Every day patients allow nurses (and doctors) to inject drugs into their IV line without asking “whats in that syringe”....
This combination of our subconscious paternalism and patients’ blind faith is a heady mix……but ripe for us to make a difference.
Vic suggests there are are small, human ways we can involve patients in safer healthcare, of better quality and with an improved patient experience.
We can ask them.
We often do involve patient advocates at the ‘strategic end’, but when was the last time you invited a real patient to your departmental teaching or consultant meeting (or smacc conference...!)
RISK ANALYSIS FOR SEVERE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN ROAD TUNNELSFranco Bontempi
Msc Thesis by Carmine Di Santo
Advisor Franco Bontempi
Co-advisor Konstantinos Gkoumas
In this Thesis, a comprehensive risk analysis is performed in a long tunnel in South Italy, accounting for multifaceted aspects and parameters, using a dedicated tool (QRAM). The analysis is integrated with a sensitivity analysis on specific parameters that have an influence on the risk.
In Chapter 2, the regulatory framework is discussed, which led to the identification of the quantitative risk analysis as the method for the determination of the inherent risk of a road tunnel.
In Chapter 3, the procedure followed by the QRA model to derive societal and individual risk indicators is discussed, starting from a given number of possible accident scenarios.
In chapters ranging from 4 to 7, physical phenomena of different accident scenarios are explained, and their consequences on the exposed population.
In Chapter 8, is performed the risk analysis on the St. Demetrio tunnel applying the PIARC/OECD QRA model.
In chapter 9, conclusions regard to risk analysis applied to real case and about the sensitivity analysis are appropriate. In particular, the sensitivity analysis has highlighted the most influential parameters in the model.
Updated with latest version as presented at the Canberra Agile & Scrum meetup on July 20, 2017. Previously titled "Using Agile techniques to manage risk more effectively".
Given that the "Waterfall" process model has been dominant in the IT industry for many decades, how many IT and project management professionals are aware that it's inventor warned the world in 1970 that Waterfall is "risky and invites failure"?
From a risk management perspective, is waterfall ever an appropriate choice for complex IT initiatives given what we know now?
In this session we will outline how, as a risk management strategy, using the waterfall model for non-trivial systems development initiatives is systemically high risk as compared with the Iterative Incremental Development (IID) model that has been used in pockets of the IT industry since the late 1950's. Today, many organisations use the IID strategy under the umbrella term of 'Agile'. The majority of these employ Lean Product Development patterns that were first described in the Harvard Business Review in 1986 using a metaphor borrowed from the game of rugby i.e. 'Scrum'.
If you are not using a disciplined agile approach, are you facing more risk as you approach a high-stakes deadline than you need to?
The varied contexts that we work in come with varied types of risk. For a green fields date-driven release, the primary risk may be cost and schedule related. For teams designing a new product for an emerging market, the primary risks may be business risk. For teams doing innovative R&D, the primary risk may technical risk. For a young team in a new technical or business domain, the primary risk may be social risk. In this session, we will use real world examples of such varied challenges to illustrate how risk-tuned Agile helped us to manage risk effectively.
Whilst we will always have to deal with risk to create value, the good news is that there are now many powerful risk management techniques that can be overlaid on top of IID to tune your development process to the type of risk you face. The question is: which ones are most appropriate for the type of risk you are facing? In this workshop we outline a series of powerful risk management tools that tune an agile development process to effectively manage the type of risk that you face.

Ministry of Education (MOE) Keynotes AddressGoh Chye Guan
Imparting safety and health and risk management concepts to students before they enter the workforce is one strategy to raise safety and health standards at work. In this presentation, the Causes and Control Model, the MOE Safety Framework, the Management Control of Loss, the 4A's of Risk Management, and the Five Sources of Loss concepts were discussed.
5 Ways Healthcare Organizations Can Promote Patient SafetyAKW Medical
Patients and healthcare professionals can work together to improve patient safety to ensure a higher quality of care, reduce medical errors, and refocus on supporting good health and well-being.
Risk management is one of the most important QA activities in the development of safety-critical devices and software. The more complex a product (and its development project) gets, the more difficult it is to identify, keep track of, and reduce or mitigate all risks.
Check out this webinar to learn more about:
-Analyzing and managing hazards
-Risk management in complex mission-critical product development
-Risk management best practices, conducting Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
documenting and reporting on your risk management lifecycle.
