title: Risk management--why bother?
abstract: Risk management is worthwhile, and should be given high priority by health professionals. There is a direct payoff for practitioners. The past decade has witnessed organizational trappings of risk management. However, until practitioners appreciate the personal payoff of risk management, and that treatment will be more effective at the same time, more lip service than results will be the norm.
