Inspirien celebrates Health Care Risk Management Week June 20-24th, 2022 and the role that Risk Management Professionals play in mitigating safety risk and focusing on improving patient safety.  This year’s theme for Health Care Risk Management Week is Integral to Safe and Trusted Health Care. Inspirien would like to recognize this week all the Risk Management Professionals across the industry and thank them for their dedication to patient safety and protecting their organizations.

Risk Management professionals play an active role in a health care organization’s clinical activities, risk financing, regulatory, and business issues. They are committed to patient safety and work to prevent serious safety events by identifying and eliminating risks. They are also the go-to-professionals in a crisis and bring expertise to situation management. Health Care Risk Managers work with all members in the organization to help with strategic planning, processes evaluation and clinical and business issues. Risk Management professionals seek to continuously improve organizations by positively influencing the healthcare industry; this includes utilizing available resources and ensuring safe and effective care through the use of best practices and evidenced based resources.

ASHRM, the American Society for Health Care Risk Management, has prepared a Health Care Risk Management Week Toolkit found here: https://www.ashrm.org/resources/hrm-week that you can utilize to recognize and celebrate Health Care Risk Management Week in your organization. You can also search and utilize the hashtag #HRMWeek on your social media channels to spread the word and look for resources related to #patientsafety and #riskmanagement.

This Health Care Risk Management Week, we’re celebrating all the professionals that ensure the safety of patients as they progress through the continuum of care at our hospitals and health centers. Be sure to tag #HRMWeek, #ASHRM, and #Inspirien with your posts and stories!
