Risk management, safety management, and quality assurance.
The changes that have taken place in health care during the past few years have also created changes in our hospital safety programs. We can no longer address the safety issue as a dual function of a department manager. The safety management program plays an important role in the overall success of the quality of the facility. Safety is no longer a program that stands alone and oversees the fire safety program. To have a successful risk management and quality assurance program, safety management has to be included as an integral part.
