The Time for Innovative Risk Management in Healthcare is Now
Patient safety has stalled. And it’s not for lack of effort. Today, healthcare organizations are increasingly focused on collecting quantitative data. Health systems measure everything from staff satisfaction to compliance with insurance requirements. Yet, despite all the data collected, 97% of it goes unused. The valuable qualitative insights—the stories behind the numbers—often sit silently in databases, untapped.
Meanwhile, risk managers—tasked with ensuring a safe environment for patients—find themselves limited in their ability to enforce corrective actions. There’s an imbalance between the volume of metrics and the resources available to implement and monitor them. With leadership priorities shifting frequently, staff is constantly stretched thin, trying to balance regulatory demands with evolving patient safety initiatives.
If that isn’t enough, consider the following:
- Medical malpractice jury verdicts have skyrocketed.
- Insurance premiums are steadily rising.
- The cost of delivering care is higher than ever.
- Burnout is draining the energy and morale of physicians and nurses.
These issues have pushed patient safety risks and operational inefficiencies to an all-time high. Beyond the harm to patients, these safety incidents also cost healthcare organizations millions of dollars, damage reputations, and erode public trust. Adding to the problem, physician shortages—driven by burnout and early exits from the profession—pose a serious threat to the sustainability of the healthcare system.
