title: Survey shows medical involvement in risk management.
abstract: Late in 1985, an AAMD InterCOM survey questionnaire was sent to hospital-based members of the Academy. The subject of the survey was risk management programs, and the goal was to obtain information on how members planned and implemented this function within their institutions. Of the 632 surveys mailed, 192 usable responses were returned. Where two or more responses were received from the same institution, the combined response was used. If the responses were incompatible, the institution was deleted from the returns. In this article, we summarize the major findings of the survey.
