Risk Management: A Profile of the Role

Risk management is a developing field in health care. The readings for this week, along with the link to the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA), discuss what risk manager or compliance officer responsibilities are in different health care organizations. Job titles for this area include compliance officer, risk manager, chief risk officer, and compliance consultant.

Exhibit 2.5 on page 59 of the Carroll textbook provides a lengthy list of major responsibilities for a chief risk officer. Review this exhibit. Pick one area of responsibility from this exhibit and discuss the possible activities that are related to this responsibility area.

In 250 to 300 words, discuss a particular area of responsibility for a chief risk officer in a health care organization.

In your post, consider how the chief risk officer and the director of quality management will work on this particular responsibility area. Is there room for collaboration? Is this a role only held by the chief risk officer? Who reports to whom?
