title: Objective measures prove value of risk management.
abstract: Risk managers now have data to prove the value of what they do: A new study shows that certain risk-management activities are associated with a lower number of claims against hospitals. And this year, risk managers' agendas are more crowded than ever before. They must comply with a host of new regulations mandated by the Patient Self-Determination Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Safe Medical Devices Act.
