Respond to a post:
I chose a major health care facility to analyze based on risks. It is a dynamic facility with many different types of risks that can often mean life or death.
Opportunity-based – Opportunity risks may be defined as either a risk from a choice made about potential opportunities or how opportunities taken advantage of can bring about new risks. Some examples include.
Opportunities to merge into or absorb other facilities to become a larger entity in the area which can cause many new risks such as:choosing an incorrect new location which causes over congestion, anger by local citizens over placement and more.Difficulties in merging various business documents and culture.Difficulties with payroll of various individuals that come from different entities. (Types of health care coverage, retirement packages, hourly and salary pay)Opportunities to open new wings to provide a new element of care.Hazards associated with integrating new systems, learning it with very to little experience, balancing bugdeting, making it profitable, hiring exceptional talent and more.
Uncertainty-based – risk that occur from uncertain or unknown events such as natural disasters, loss of suppliers, rogue individual violence and more.
Uncertainty based has some crossover from hazards when hazards are uncertain. So I will only cover some hazards here that are the most uncertain.Uncertainties can include a massive influx of patients on a particular day. This may occur without any large scale emergency and be what we might call, an anomaly. This can also occur due to a large scale disaster or emergency. Either way, the uncertainty of when or how an influx of patients will overwhelm your systems, personnel and capabilities a hazard worth considering.Active shooters which choose the facility due to various potential reasons:They believe they received inadequate careDisgruntled employeeDeranged person choosing a busy location randomly or with a deranged motivation.Many more unknowns.EarthquakesCausing critical damage to structureCausing massive power outages and damaging generatorsInjuring a critical number of personnel
Hazard-based – risk from dangerous materials or actions.
