Strategic Risk Control

A strategic plan should be developed whenever an organization undertakes a major new initiative (such as patient safety). The plan adds the perspective of the long view to short term externally driven initiatives such as compliance with the National Patient Safety Goals.

The way a strategic plan is developed is dependant upon on the nature of the organization’s leadership, culture of the organization, complexity of the organization environment, size of the organization, and expertise of planners. Issues based strategic planning often starts by examining issues facing the organization, strategies to address those issues, and action plans. Major differences in how organizations carry out the various steps and activities in the RM strategic planning process are more a matter of size of the organization that its for-profit/not-for-profit status.

The key to strategic risk control is to establish strategies to reach the identified patient safety and risk management goals that are based on affordability, practicality, and efficacy.
