Knowledge is power.
Empiric evidence makes it possible to formulate, explain, defend and implement a particular solution. Let RMF Strategies enable you to make the case for essential change.
With the cost of professional medical malpractice liability rising significantly, managing the complex issues of risk and patient safety is becoming increasingly important. Unmanaged litigation and insurance rates, increases in clinical exposure, variance in medical care and inadquate support systems offer some explanations to the increased costs. Providing the context and information to build a case for targeted prevention programs presents a difficult challenge for many healthcare organizations.
The purpose of being involved with RMF Strategies is to leverage the 25+ years of experience that Harvard Risk Management Foundation has in managing a medical malpractice program. Further, to participate in a national network of established health systems and hospitals as well as captive, commercial and self-insurance enterprises who are using these methods to effectively manage risk.
Effective risk management is reliant upon a clear understanding of the infrastructure, programs, experience, and issues and to identify the needs and early risk reduction opportunities for the senior executive and clinical leadership in the organization. The net result of these efforts will be a reduction in the overall cost of risk and safer care systems for patients and providers.
