We are pleased to announce WTW’s Healthcare Risk Management Foundations Series. We view this offering as an important and supportive resource for the risk management professional.
Although at times considered the purview of risk management and financial leadership, it is essential for the clinical risk management team as a whole to have awareness of what it takes to insure an organization.
WTW will be offering ongoing webinars (many providing CEUs) on a variety of topics, such as strategies for conducting a thorough and credible investigation of a serious safety event, creating an effective fleet management program, methods for conducting a general slip and fall investigation, developing a comprehensive written risk management plan and more.
Who should attend: This program is appropriate for all members of the healthcare and senior living risk management team, managers and other professional members of the organization who are involved in partnering with risk management and working to improved patient safety.
This series offers sessions including:
- Elements of an Effective Fleet Management Plan
- A Manager's Guide: Documenting the Difficult Encounter - Risk Reduction Strategies
In addition, tools and job aides will be provided. New sessions will be added in the coming weeks.
