The Rozovsky Group, Inc. - Our Philosphy On the Forefront Change in Healthcare Risk Management Contemporary healthcare facilities and systems are caught up in a vortex of change.
Pressure is exerted from a number of sources, including payers, providers, patients, and regulators.
The trend is to place several operational responsibilities in the hands of the risk management professional. It is not uncommon to find the healthcare risk management professional accountable for quality management, safety, security, occupational health, infection control, credentialing, and information management services. Such responsibility limits the amount of time the risk management professional can spend on loss control and loss prevention. It is a serious issue in the rapid pace arena of managed care and integrated delivery. The pressure is made even greater with the ever-increasing regulatory accountability demanded of healthcare entities and providers.
