Risk is the possibility that an adverse event will occur due to the action or inaction of external forces. By knowing the nature of the event we can propose a plan to prevent negative consequences. The proposed plan is called a risk management plan. Finding the source of a problem is root cause analysis. Risk management involves creating the infrastructure and culture necessary for healthcare business and consists of several interconnected phases:1. Identify the causes and main risk factors;2. Risk identification, analysis and evaluation;3. Decision based on evaluation;4. Reduce the risk to an acceptable level;5. Monitoring the implementation of planned activities;6. Analysis and evaluation of risk solutions. One way to improve the efficiency and quality of care is the risk management system, identifying, evaluating impacts and developing countertactics designed to limit accidental events that cause physical and moral damage to the healthcare organization, its patients and his patients. personal. A large number of errors occur in healthcare at all levels, most of them end successfully, without harm to staff and patients. Only a small portion of cases end up causing significant harm and even death. In this situation, it is not possible to detect a clear link between staff errors, the healthcare organization and patient injuries. Risk management was created to bring stability to the healthcare organization in the event of accidents, incidents and losses. Reveals hidden dangers and develops countermeasures. The analysis of the risk management system demonstrates its complexity. The causes of errors have human and system components. Human errors are inevitable. “Our current economic climate continues to force healthcare organizations to ...... middle of paper ...... not make mistakes.” Recognizing the root of the problem, properly analyzing it, implementing changes, and training staff can shed light not only on errors that have occurred, but can also prevent many errors from happening again in the future.
