Webinar Title: The Changing Role of the Risk Manager in a Patient Safety Culture

Webinar Purpose:

The role of the health care risk manager continues to change to meet the needs of the dynamic health care industry. Recent data indicates that risk management is moving from a role of reactive respondent to claims to a proactive leadership function that supports open discussion about error, both internally and externally. New skills, attitudes and awareness are required. By reviewing the past and current requirements of this role, the presenters set the stage for recommendations on how the risk manager can keep up with changes, as well as how to best position their role in the future.

Webinar Objectives:

• Discuss the implications of recent evidence of the changing role of the risk manager.
• Explain the leadership role of the risk manager in a patient safety culture.
• Apply role delineation and compensation study findings to trends in the field to prepare for the future.

Target Audience:  CEOs, COOs, CMOs, health care risk mangers, quality managers, and human resource managers.
