Analysis Part Two Sample PaperRisk management programs are an important component
of larger programs administered by healthcare organizations. The purpose of healthcare
organizations is to ensure the safety and health of communities; however, without a solid
organizational healthcare risk management program, this purpose can be defeated. This
summary aims to explain the components of a sound healthcare risk management program
that a community healthcare facility can implement to ensure the safety of patients,
healthcare providers, and health facility resources.Like the Children Medical Services Risk
Management Program, a sound healthcare risk management program should be inclusive in
its approach to risk management. It should not only be a responsibility of healthcare
providers to ensure safety in these facilities but rather be a responsibility of everyone. In
the Children Medical Services Risk Management Program, for example, both the children,
parents and healthcare providers have a responsibility of maintaining safety and this
responsibility is communicated to them (Florida Heath, 2016). This creates a learning
environment in which the focus is not to punish those who are responsible for an incident,
but instead the focus is to enable these stakeholders to share and learn from the incidence.
Such a program should, however, balance between the need to focus on learning on one

2. side, and ensuring that those who violate safety rules and ethics are held responsible as
well. A balance between these two extremes, if established, can make the healthcare risk
management programs even more effective. HLT308V Grand Canyon Week 5 Risk
Management Programs PresentationA sound healthcare risk management program should
also focus on continuous education of staff (Singh & Ghatala, 2012). The new staff members
who join the healthcare facility need to be taken through a mandatory training session at
the beginning of their contract so that they can be equipped with skills on risk management,
and be made aware of the activities that are fundamental to safety in the facility. This
training empowers new staff with skills to promote safety, and also makes them aware of
their roles in the implementation of existing healthcare management program (Singh &
Ghatala, 2012).In the Children Medical Services Risk Management Program, for example,
new staff undergo mandatory training at the beginning of this contract and this makes them
knowledgeable of existing risk management programs thus improving risk management in
the healthcare facilities (Florida Health, 2016). Continuous training of existing employees
enables them to learn about new innovative safety methods and allow them to share the
challenges in implementing the existing program, which is a useful exercise for improving
existing healthcare risk management program.Proper incident reporting is also at the core
of a sound healthcare risk management program (Singh & Ghatala, 2012). When an incident
is reported correctly and timely, it is possible for other stakeholders (healthcare workers
and patients) to mitigate risk and learn from it as well. The supportive environment in
which no one is judged or punished for being involved in risk makes it possible for health
workers to accurately report incidences they are involved in for the purposes of learning
and improving the program. In addition to the supportive environment, the healthcare
providers should be trained on how to generate standard, accurate, timely and useful
incident reports.Creating value for healthcare givers and patients is another aspect of a
good healthcare risk management program (Carrol, 2014). By creating value for these
actors, the stakeholders will always strive to protect the value and prevent risks that may
lead to a deterioration of value or a costly litigation processes. For example, creating value
for patients’ information assets makes caregivers to prioritize the protection of patients’
privacy and information so that they can avoid the risk that may harm the patients or make
the facility face a lawsuit (Carrol, 2014). Orienting the values of the healthcare organization
towards the safety of patients, workers and facility assets can also be part of the healthcare
risk management program. For example, if safety is one of the core values of a healthcare
organization, it will have budgetary allocation for research and innovation with the aim of
creating and sustaining safety in the healthcare facility. Value is thus an important element
of a health care risk management program both when patients, information assets and
healthcare workers are valued, and also when safety is inculcated in the organizational
culture.Joint Commission’s RoleThe joint commission receives and evaluates reports from
healthcare facilities to ascertain that the organization’s quality management processes still
comply with set national safety standards (Jost, 1983). These reports are submitted by
health workers and their supervisors, and they bear information relating to the safety
processes in place and incidences that occur in the organisations. While the joint
commission plays an important role in ensuring quality management processes are in place,

3. its over-reliance on reports from the facilities may make it difficult for it to arrive at an
accurate conclusion. For example, in cases where an organization has no sound quality
management processes but publishes falsehood about the existence of such processes, the
joint commission will still accredit that health organization despite it not having requisite
quality management processes.Jost (1983) however remains optimistic by insisting that
even with the knowledge that the joint commission can withdraw the license given to health
facilities for their operation, they will automatically strive to ensure sound risk
management program and quality management process are in place. This is however not
necessarily true in all cases, as some organizations will devise tactics of not complying with
national standards, and still remain accredited. Jost (1983) also noted that the joint
commission looks at other elements such as the role on non-physician to effectively
evaluate processes in healthcare organizations. Limiting the roles of non-physicians’ role in
the healthcare programs is a strategy for reducing risks in these organizations (Jost,
2014). Therefore, the commission is effective in evaluating healthcare organizations,
however, it can improve its approach for better results.The Role Played by Administrative
PersonnelAdministrative personnel at different levels participate in the formulation,
implementation and providing feedback on employer-employee organization risk
management policies. At the lowest level, for example, administrative personnel ensure
compliance with existing risk management policies by protecting employee information
that is in their custody. These low-level administrative personnel (and the middle-level
administrative personnel as well) can then give feedback for improvement of employer-
employee risk management policies they find inoperable.The top-level administrative
personnel, on the other hand, are responsible for the formulation and reformulation of
policy based on needs that emerge from practice. They are also responsible for ensuring
that these policies are adhered to. To ensure sustenance of the employer-employee policy,
administrative personnel engage middle and lower level administrative personnel in
training so as to enable them to understand the justification of the policies and how best to
implement them (Carrol, 2014). In a good system, all the different levels of administrative
personnel can be involved in policy review as all are responsible for sustenance if the
policies created.The Relationship Between Risk Management Programs and Compliance
with Ethical StandardsEthical standards inform the design of risk management programs
(Carrol, 2014; Jost, 1983). A risk management program tries to ensure the safety of
employees, patients and information assets, which is also the goal of ethical standards.
When looked at from this perspective, it can be argued that both ethical standards and risk
management programs are designed to achieve similar goals. For this reason, when risk
management programs are being designed for healthcare organizations, they are made to
comply with and /or support existing standards of ethical practice. This way, ethical
standards can also form a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of risk management
programs (Carrol, 2014).ReferencesCarroll, R. L. (2014). Enterprise Risk Management: A
