    It is essential that large healthcare institutions, like the United States Hospital, have risk management strategies in place that reduce the number of possible casualties. The plan drafted by the board addresses both proactive and reactive circumstances. Proactive components are activities to help prevent harm or injury to an individual and reactive components include actions in response to adverse occurrences or a loss ("Indian Health Service," 2013). The four steps to access the risk at hand begins with gathering and the utilization of data. This consists of research to diagnose or identify the potential threat. If there is risk involved, that causes an adverse effect to patience care and/or hospital staff in the situation. The answer to the question, “how much will the threat impact the hospital,” will determine the prognosis of the risk.

    In order to provide safety, it demands an effort of the entire facility as a whole. As stated in the IHI Open School Basic Modules, the four main characteristics are “psychological safety, active leadership, transparency, and fairness”. I would create a safe environment in the healthcare setting by addressing any concerns the patient and/ or staff may have, being respectful and open-minded. I would create an open door policy, promoting communication and offering knowledge to ensure quality care and patient safety. If a mistake or error was made, I would help the individual in resolving the situation to ensure patient safety first as well as documenting the incident and focus on methods of prevention with the staff. For example, if a nurse approaches me with a question on how to insert an NG tube, I will not belittle the person or make smart remarks because doing so will create a harmful environment. Instead, I would offer my assistance and knowledge to ensure patient safety. Afterwards, to ensure competency and confidence of staff, I wound coordinate a mandatory in-service on NG tube insertion and placement. As an active leader, I would actively listen to my staff, addressing their questions and concerns. As a leader, I must realize that individuals are different and have different perspectives and/or beliefs about certain issues and the only way to know that is to listen. In my…

    Promoting a secure environment will ensure that patients and medical staff trust one another. One may claim that a strict professional barrier between a medical assistant and patient should exist; however, the patient will feel greater comfort in his surroundings if communication is achieved. For instance, if I, as a medical student, interact with patients, I should not just ask about their health state but, rather, converse about daily living, without any discrimination of their sex, gender, and/or beliefs. Furthermore, all medical professionals, who cooperate and contribute in a hospital, should possess attentiveness.…

I don’t quite know how or where they are backing the system up at but with the company I work for they run a back-up everyday after the end of the day. It goes onto a portable hard drive that is taken home with one of us. This is a good system because it the happening of a fire or flood they would lose all the business information. Backing up the systems at the hospital is not just in case of a fire but to have this information just in case something would happen and they would be able to have all the information.…
