Analysis of a Healthcare Risk Management Plan

Summary and Rationale of Risk Management Plan and Description of the Healthcare

Organization the Plan Applies and Role Risk Management in that Setting.

The risk management plan selected is patient safety and huddles in healthcare. Patient

safety is selected because it is at the center of all the nursing theories. According to Xu (2020),

the prevention of the risk of unhealthy and unsafe practices in patients is prevented through

evidence-based practices. Evidence-based practice protects patients in a healthcare setting from

the harmful and out-of-date treatment processes and modalities treatment modalities methods

have already been tested and verified using scientific methods. Evidence-based practice in

ensuring patient safety is critical because patients are treated satisfactorily and develop a positive

experience in the treatment process, treatment of a disease is often a traumatic process.

The plan of using evidence-based practice is for use in a hospital called Pasa. Pasa is a

county hospital with a 300 inpatient bed capacity. The outpatient department attends

approximately 5,000 patients monthly. This number of patients is higher for a county hospital,

especially for the outpatients. Therefore, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare personnel need to

implement evidence-based practice in the care of patients. Risk management plays a central role

in the setting of Pasa Hospital because in cases of unsafe practices, the hospital can face

litigation. Therefore, clinicians need to use safe practices proven through authentic evidence.

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

The MIPPA standard practices concerning patient safety are discussed in Subtitle C, Part

1-Physician Services. Part 2 also provides appropriate care practices for patients and guides the
 3

clinician in the risk management process. Part 1, Section 150 of the MIPPA 2008 Act steps

involved in the evidence-based practice are the MIPPA researches the probability and ease of

formulating a comprehensive treatment plan for (MCCPRN) Medicare Chronic Care Practice

Research Network. The MCCPRN is the administrative and authorized body for the conduction

and testing of newer scientific methods in the safety and care of patients. Besides, the MCCPRN

section of MIPPA provides a smooth and constructive framework for testing new frameworks of

care for chronically ill patients, the commencement of treatment, operation, and evaluation of the

process. If the treatment process is effective, the modality is rolled out to the broader population.

The MCCPRN, in conducting the evidence-based practice, must consider existing structural

frameworks, implementation strategies, and the outcomes of treatment interventions practiced

before the investigation and pilot studies. Fullen, Wiley and Morgan (2019) argue that the

MIPPA, upon completion of research, is answerable to the commission that submits to Congress

a written report with the outcomes of the research for the new evidence-based practice conducted

under Subsect (a). The process involved in Pasa Hospital is the clinicians conducting primary

research on PubMed, Embase, Frontiers, and other websites to identify newer and safer practices

to prevent risks. The process is brief because the material is located on the internet, and the

clinician can conduct research when they are treating a patient.

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

The organizations in patient safety are MIPPA, MCCPRN, Medicare Coordinated Care

Demonstration Project (MCCDP). The MIPPA plays the role of providing the outline for

protecting the wellbeing of patients especially of the elderly population that are chronically ill.

Education of the clinicians is critical in patient safety and care. The MIPPA outreach program

contains a section called the tools and training that allows clinicians to practice safe practices for

patients through research. The MCCORN is the body responsible for the conduction of research

for the MIPPA about newer and effective evidence based practices and is therefore important in

this risk management plan. The Medicare Coordinated Care Demonstration Project is a project

that performs research pon the role of coordinated services for the elderlyand the impact of

coordinated services on patient outcomes. The MCCDP provides a clear framework because it is

cost efficient. Therefore, it is essential for this program because it will enable the Pasa Hospital

to save on cost.

Evaluation of your selected risk management plan's compliance with the standards of its

corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to privacy, healthcare worker

safety, and patient safety.

The plan chosen for treatment and the use of evidence based practice is in line with the

requirements of MIPPA. Subsection 150, Part 1 provides the clinician with a chance to perform

primary research before initiation of a treatment plan. The tools and training section of the

MIPPA allows for research conduction by clinicians before administering any form of treatment

modalities especially for the elderly. The MIPPA educates the clinician about the use of efficient

practices in the healthcare setting. Therefore, this risk management plan is in line with the

requirements of MIPPA. Also, since the commencement of the MIPPA in 2008 and the

advocation of cost efficient methods by clinicians as the 2008 Act makes this risk management

program for patient safety and care in line with requirements.

Proposed recommendations or changes you would implement in your risk management

program example to enhance, improve, or secure the aforementioned compliance standards

The recommendations set forth for this management plan is the expansion and the

inclusion of other modalities of performing research for the care of patients. The Certified

Nursing Researcher is key in ensuring efficient and comprehensive care for the patients. CNR is

an upcoming field of nursing that recommends the use of evidence-based practices in the

treatment of patients so as to ensure safety. The CNR is also mandated to perform research on

better and efficient methods to prevent harmful practices for patients. The second

recommendation is the inclusion of various state laws in patient safety and care. Various states

have various laws applicable to the region of jurisdiction and some may contain essential

components that require inclusion and augmentation of some state laws that are deficient.
