Why do we need Risk Management?
The only alternative to risk management is crisis management ­­­ and crisis management is much more expensive, time consuming and embarrassing. JAMES LAM, Enterprise Risk Management, Wiley Finance © 2003

Without good risk management practices, government cannot manage its resources effectively. Risk management means more than preparing for the worst; it also means taking advantage of opportunities to improve services or lower costs.

Sheila Fraser, Auditor General of Canada

Why bother with RM?


Increase risk awareness – What could affect the achievement of objectives? What could change? What could go wrong? What could go right?



Increase understanding of risk – sensitivities. What makes my risks increase/decrease/disappear? 

Promote a “healthy” risk culture – It’s safe to talk about risk. Open and transparent.

The children should be allowed to safely explore and make decisions about risks with the guidance of the staff within the setting.

    This report will outline the risk. The different risk methods will be analyzed, and then the risk assessment team will make those conclusions on the risk. In this day of ages, risk is one of the biggest threats to any hospital. The reason for this is that the hospital needs quantify their action. With technology moving so fast, it is important to make sure that you have a risk assessment in place.

    The purpose of the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) is to improve patient safety via the application of evidence based practice in areas of medical care that have been identified as high risk for resulting in patient harm (Mascioli & Carrico, 2016). The organization is extremely focused on meeting the NPSGs, however, there has not been a formal assessment of the organization’s culture of safety. The hospital focuses on the individual goals, collects data, and, based on the statistics, puts into place measures to address deficiencies. Executives within the organization are sponsors of specific NPSGs and are required to write action plans for those measures for which the hospital is not meeting the target.

    This indicates that the taking of risks should include the elements of purpose and the setting of objectives. It should involve informed decision-making, where service users exchange and understand information with regard to risks. Further, it should embrace the appraisal of options, particularly in relation to potential harms and benefits from a course of action or from a set of circumstances. Finally, it sets boundaries for decision making about risk taking. By ‘risk literacy’ is meant ‘the capacity for critical understanding of, and reflective judgments about, risk and risk taking, based on evidence and experiential learning’. risk literacy needed to guide decision-making and to strike appropriate balances.

    Andrea Yates was found guilty for drowning her five children in a bath tub in their house in Houston on the morning of June 20th of 2001. She called the Houston Police Department after committing this evil act who arrived at the scene and took Yates in custody and questioned her. She revealed the details of how she drowned her children one by one and put them in their beds and left her six-month old daughter floating dead in the bath tub before she drowned her last child who was seven years old. She was not able to answer why she had done this every time asked by the officer. She was later put on anti-depressants which resulted in her revealing why she had done so. She believed that she was trying to send them to God in their "innocent years" before they committed any sins. It would send them in heaven. She said "they did not do thing God likes" in her interview with the psychiatrist. She said they did silly things. Her lawyer plead not guilty on basis of insanity defense.…

    Caitlin Holm

    George Catlin and Bill Holm are both known as some of the finest painters of Native American life. In his life time, Catlin created more than five hundred paintings and collected an impressive number of Indian artifacts, and after returning to the East he began exhibiting his work in influential cities. As an artist, Holm’s diverse works range from carving and painting to beading and quillwork, always specializing in the visual art of Northwest Coast Native Americans. This led him to take on the role of practitioner and teacher of the Northwest Coast art style. Both these artists have found a fervent fascination with the varying aspects of these ingenuous people, and have sought to express this in their art; however, a great difference is seen in how both artists choose to express and interpret American Indians in their works. While one traveled west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s to record images of America's native people and sought to change American attitudes toward the dispossession and disempowerment of America's indigenous peoples, the other focused on the portrayal of Native American life through the historically accurate recreation of traditional dress, ornaments, and artifacts. Both artists have developed styles that beautifully portray and express different aspects of Natives lives that, while contrast in many ways, are both spectacular and though provoking…
