    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Administration
    • Medical Malpractice
    • Hospital Operations

    Background:

    • Risk management, a systematic process for identifying and addressing risks, is well-established in American hospitals.
    • Canadian hospitals have seen minimal adoption of risk management programs despite trends indicating a need.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the status and barriers to risk management implementation in Canadian hospitals.
    • To highlight the growing case for risk management adoption in Canadian healthcare settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of trends in healthcare claims and insurance availability in Canada.
    • Identification of factors influencing the adoption of risk management programs in hospitals.

    Main Results:

    • Despite increased claims and reduced insurance availability, Canadian hospitals have minimal risk management programs.
    • Key barriers include a lack of financial incentives and specific accreditation standards for risk management.

    Conclusions:

    • Canadian hospitals need to develop risk management programs, requiring board, medical, and staff support.
    • Initial steps involve assessing current risk controls and integrating with Quality Assurance activities.
