Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper:
"Characteristics of a risk management program that is successful in nature are the characteristics of processes stated to be both "consistent' and thorough'. As well, these processes should be continuously reviewed and updated and those in charge of managing risk should seek resource availability and should include updates and standards as a function for the development and revision of processes of the organization. Included in a risk management program are the following required elements: (1) Policies and procedures that are developed specifically for the function of risk management which are in written form and in which described is the position held by risk manager and whom the risk manager reports within the organization. Incident reporting requirements should be outlined within the organization and specifically by risk management within the organization in order to "delineate claims handling and reporting requirements." (Chubb, 2009, p.4)"Secondly included is that risk management is a process and one of the nature in which the policies and procedures of the organization are aligned so as to guarantee that consistency with the standard of care delivered in the faculty of practice so as to avoid these being utilized as evidence of negligence or deviation from the standard of care."
