Risk Management
How do you ensure compliance with all regulatory bodies, as well as protect the practice from medical malpractice and adverse legal events?
Risk Management in a medical practice includes the following:
- Develop and implement a risk management plan to ensure a safe environment for patients, staff and visitors.
- Develop and implement policies and procedures to manage the impact of adverse legal events.
- Establish a plan for disaster response and recovery.
- Develop and implement a compliance program for federal and state laws and regulations.
