Risk and quality management are the responsibility of all employees in an organization. For those in a health care leadership capacity, it’s also vital to be able to effectively share rationales for your risk- and quality-management decisions. You’re a health care manager, and your team meets monthly to discuss ideas to improve processes, quality, and experiences within your facility. As you evaluate a risk-management scenario and prepare to present your decision-making process that led to your recommendation, you will demonstrate the skill of risk management by evaluating appropriate decision-making processes in risk and quality management.

Preparation

Research different decision-making processes and models and choose 1 to use throughout this assessment.

For your deliverable, choose 1 of the following scenarios to address in order to improve quality or reduce risk in your facility:

• Long wait times for patients to see health care providers
• Increase in patient injuries (e.g., falls) in your facility
• Too many incorrect bills being sent to patients
• Staff fatigue due to staff shortage or scheduling errors

Assessment Deliverable

Create an 9- to 12-slide narrated presentation including speaker notes for your leadership team about your decision-making process to solve your chosen scenario:

• Summarize which decision-making process you’ve chosen and which scenario you are solving.
• Explain the information needed for making your decision.
• Detail your decision-making process step by step. Address the following questions:
• How do you identify your areas of concern?
• What data do you need to validate your concerns?
