This week, in honor of Health Care Risk Management Week, we are highlighting the critical role that risk managers play in patient safety, patient care practices, quality assurance, safe work environments, and the prevention of liability issues.<\/p>\n

Established in 1980 by the American Society for Health Care Risk Management, this week promotes solutions to help prevent some of the most common adverse events. This year\u2019s theme \u2013 \u201cEnhancing skills and elevating the profession\u201d \u2013 celebrates the central role of health care risk management professionals in protecting their organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that all health care workers play a critical role in patient safety and, along with our risk management professionals, we work to move closer to zero preventable serious safety events,\u201d says Eileen Craig, Director of Risk Management and Insurance. \u201cWe recognize the important role each risk management team member plays in handling a crisis, reducing risks for our patients and across the health system.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we celebrate this special week, we applaud everyone\u2019s efforts in promoting a safe environment for our patients and team members.<\/p>\n
