Explanation / Answer

1. There are specific core principles in regards to risk management. When looking to perform an actual risk assessment, the following target areas should be part of the overall risk management procedure (as defined by the International Standards Organization; ISO):

2. A properly documented health record benefits the health-care facility's defense in a lawsuit because it can be used to establish what did or did not happen in a particular case and whether the applicable standard of care was met.

3.Ready availability of a health record influences three areas:

-the use for patient care
-access to health information by or on behalf of the patient
-retention of the health record

Failure to make the health record readily available may result in harm to the patient and exposure of the health-care facility to liability (use for patient care). Careful management of requests for access to health records reduces the potential for liability due to improper disclosure of health information (access to health information by or on behalf of the patient). Retaining the health record for the minimum period specified under statute and regulation reduces the risk of a lawsuit for negligent loss of records (retention).

4.The failure of health-care providers to respect confidentiality, combined with greater public awareness of the adverse effects of unauthorized disclosure of health information, impacts risk management through an increased number of lawsuits.
