Abubakr Elmardi

 Risk Management is defined as the process whereby an organization anticipates the potential for injuries or losses and acts to avoid

those injuries before and/ or to ameliorate them after they occur. There are many evidences that Health Care should adopt the principle of Risk Management. Objectives of Risk Management: • Minimize risk to quality of service and patient outcomes • Ensure provision of a safe and ef fective service • Manage risks in partnership with patients, staf f, the community and other healthcare providers • Seek to learn from mistakes and not to blame The Risk Management Process: • Risk identification • Risk Analysis • Risk Treatment • Risk Register • The National Context Most errors go unnoticed or unreported. No doctor or nurse comes to work to harm a patient, that is the very last thing they would want to do. Conclusion: To err is human. To cover up is unforgivable. To fail to learn is inexcusable.
