Risk Management in Healthcare (GBSH0014)

The ability to effectively manage risks is critical to safeguarding an organisation, but it is even more complex in the healthcare domain.  In this module you will develop an in-depth understanding of risk management in a healthcare setting.  You will assess strategies for risk management as well as frameworks for delivering risk management plans for healthcare. You will come to understand that in healthcare, risks include patient safety and medical errors, but also the organisation’s assets, accreditation, reimbursement levels, reputation and societal standing.

As healthcare innovations continue at a rapid pace, you will learn how to assess the risks that come with technological change, cybersecurity, regulatory, legal, political and other risks associated more directly with finance such as value-based care or pay for performance models that are emerging.  Without understanding the risks, risk levels and processes for mitigation, organisations cannot appropriately appraise opportunities and changes in rapidly evolving health systems. You will learn through interaction with a variety of risk management experts supporting the health sector to ensure a high standard of continuous risk management.
