Benchmark – Risk Management Program Analysis – Part One

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a health care risk management program.

Conduct  research on approaches to risk management processes, policies, and  concerns in your current or anticipated professional arena to find an  example of a risk management plan. Look for a plan with sufficient  content to be able to complete this assignment successfully. In a  1,000‐1,250-word paper, provide an analysis of the risk management plan  that includes the following:

1. Summary of the type of risk  management plan you selected (new employee, specific audience,  community‐focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example.  Describe the health care organization to which the plan applies and the  role risk management plays in that setting.
2. Description of the  standard administrative steps and processes in a typical health care  organization’s risk management program compared to the administrative  steps and processes you identify in your selected example plan. (Note:  For standard risk management policies and procedures, look up the  MIPPA-approved accrediting body that regulates the risk management  standards in your chosen health care sector, and consider federal,  state, and local statutes as well.)
3. Analysis of the key  agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe  health care in your area of concentration and an evaluation of the roles  each one plays in the risk management oversight process.
4. Evaluation  of your selected risk management plan’s compliance with the standards  of its corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to  privacy, health care worker safety, and patient safety.
5. Proposed  recommendations or changes you would implement in your risk management  program example to enhance, improve, or secure the aforementioned  compliance standards.

In addition to your textbook, you are required to support your analysis with a minimum of three peer‐reviewed references.

Prepare  this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style  Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not  required.
