The Process for Active Risk Control
This toolkit is designed to be used as part of a broader approach to Active Risk Control, based on the Process for Active Risk Control (PARC). One key feature of both is a focus on stakeholder communication.
Risk controls are more likely to succeed if those who will be involved are actively encouraged to provide input. The PARC is closely modeled on the Risk Management Process from ISO 31000 and is intended as
an expansion of the Risk Treatment step in that process.

1.0 Background – Problem Framing
In this section, you will describe the risk to be controlled, translate the potential causes & contributing factors into solution-neutral problem statements, and define the criteria for successful control of this risk
1.1 Risk to be controlled, and potential causes / contributing factors as described in the risk assessment
1.2 Restate the risk and causes / contributing factors as solution-neutral problem statements

1.0 Background – Problem Framing
In this section, you will describe the risk to be controlled, translate the potential causes & contributing factors into solution-neutral problem statements, and define the criteria for successful control of this risk
1.3 Criteria for Success
Define successful control of this risk. The definition should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bounded)

2.0 Generating Options for Active Risk Control (GO-ARC)
This structured brainstorming technique will help you generate a broader and stronger pool of risk control options to choose from
2.1 Eliminate the Hazard or the Target (Elimination)
Elimination can mean transferring the risk to another entity, substituting a less hazardous
process, material medication, etc., or simply not using the hazardous process / materials, not
delivering the hazardous service, etc.
Risk Control Options
Examples include:
–Transferring the risk of drug preparation from the ward to the pharmacy through unit dosing,
or to the pharmaceutical company by procuring pre-filled syringes
–Substituting less dangerous drugs or other treatments
–Closing a low-volume ED where doctors are not getting enough practice to maintain their
surgical skills
–No longer serving psychiatric patients, if elopement cannot be controlled

This structured brainstorming technique will help you generate a broader and stronger pool of risk control options to choose from
2.2 Design Controls
With a focus on physical barriers, isolation, forcing functions, human factors, and failsafe design,
design controls improve safety without relying on people to do the right thing.
Risk Control Options
Examples include:
–Walls or locked doors
–Isolation: Not just of patients, but also of processes
–Complete automation, or partial automation with forcing functions
(e.g. software that prevents ordering a 10X overdose)
–Human factors / usability improvements like changing the layout of crash carts with
standardized compartments so materials are easy to find
–New or standardized equipment –with usability testing first
–Failsafe/mistakeproof design (e.g. oxygen connectors that won’t connect to the anesthetic
gas lines)
–Permanent location changes

2.0 Generating Options for Active Risk Control (GO-ARC)
This structured brainstorming technique will help you generate a broader and stronger pool of risk control options to choose from
2.3 Policies, procedures, training and other controls that depend on people taking the
correct actions
Risk Control Options
Examples include:
–New or revised policies / procedures
–Checklists, signs, quick reference guides, and other memory aids
–Double-checking
–Automation without forcing functions (e.g. moving to computerized physician order entry without
any forcing functions to prevent an order for 10x the correct dose)
–Patient safety alerts
–Awareness and persuasion campaigns
–Training and education
Note: S
ome studies have found that risk controls based on training and education may actually
tend to make things worse; it is probably best to be sure there is a genuine training need
before selecting this approach.

This structured brainstorming technique will help you generate a broader and stronger pool of risk control options to choose from
2.4 Detection / Situational Awareness
These risk controls focus on knowing that something is going wrong, or is likely to do so, in time
to prevent it, or reduce its impact.

Examples include:
–Observation, continuous or intermittent (e.g., hourly nursing rounds)
–Remote monitoring (e.g. telemetry, CCTV, RFID)
–Clinical alarms (ideally with usability testing first)
–Asking the patient to alert you if specific signs / symptoms occur
–Use of “daily goals” and/or multidisciplinary rounds so the care team knows the treatment
objectives for each patient
–Post-discharge follow-up
–Auditing, surveys
–“Near miss” reporting

2.5 Preparedness
Preparedness is the state of being ready for predictable risks. Risk controls in this category
involve having a response ready to go if the risk occurs. It means more than having a plan: It
also means having the resources available and ready to be used to implement that plan.

Examples include:
–If a surgery is likely to lead to significant blood loss, making sure that matching blood is
available and staged in an appropriate location for use
–Developing emergency operations plans detailing the response to events like severe flu
pandemics, evacuations, active shooter scenarios, etc.
–Testing equipment shortly before use
–Identifying / training backups for important people and for important equipment (and ensuring
people are trained to use the backup)
