Risk managers are influential individuals in healthcare settings who are mandated with the responsibilities of evaluating all forms of risk in a healthcare setting. The individuals work proactively to prevent or minimize the likelihood of dangers occurring in a healthcare facility. These individuals examine all the areas within a healthcare facility with the aim of reducing injury to staff members, patients, and other visitors coming to the facility. The managers could detect areas that could be attributed to the risk and other dangers in the healthcare facility. At times, the managers could monitor the occurrence of risk by reviewing claims and other past incidences that could provide interesting data. Notably, the risk managers in health institutions mitigate and prevent risk and other hospital losses by averting all incidences that could lead to such risks. The case could involve enacting preventive measures to prevent situations such as data loss by overseeing insurance and risks programs in institutions.
In healthcare institutions, risk managers should work with legal counsels to ensure a collaborative environment. These individuals should outline the objectives within the organization and outline steps which are aimed at achieving the set goals. The situation involves continuous consultation where the parties could take part in the process of overseeing insurance and risk programs. Besides, the counsel could position themselves to hand the reactive advisory roles to the risk managers, who would take the proactive while handling risks (Gordis, 2018). The manager could explore the past incidences and claims and consult with counsel about the likelihood of risks associated with such scenarios. These individuals might align their services to ensure that in case of risk, or security threat, there is a clear path that individuals would follow.

Risk is the perception that something bad is likely to happen in an organization. The Human Resource managers created the position of risk managers to ensure that they analyze the risks and set aside plans to ensure that the healthcare setting is safe. For example, some of the risks in the hospital are non-compliance, inflation of pathogens in the blood banks, hospital-acquired ammonia, among many other vulnerabilities (Dreyfus et al., 2018). Therefore, the risk manager is mandated to perform a risk analysis by contacting all the relevant stakeholders to record all the possible risks and the likelihood of their happening.
Once the risks have been analyzed and recorded, they formulate the possible plans to overcome the vulnerability to ensure that the hospital remains safe from all the vulnerabilities that are likely to happen in the hospital setting. Further, the risk manager schedules meetings with all the relevant stakeholders to explain the risks and how healthcare is working to overcome them.
The medical profession is heavily regulated and guided by the law because the scope of its operations touches directly on people's lives. The medicine provision must be followed to ensure that no expired medicine is used. If it happens, it falls under legal misconduct, which can make the hospital be sued in a court of law, and the outcome will result in losses (Westbrock et al.,2019). Other than medical malpractice, which is a principle legal risk, the other legal risks in the hospital settings are patient safety management and the conduct of the hospital workers. Therefore, the legal counsel must work closely with the risk manager to ensure that he guides the risk manager on the possible fines that are likely to be faced by the organization if it does not comply (Hyatt & Newman, 2020). Further, all the solutions that the risk manager proposes are not against the law because proposing a countermeasure that defiles the regulations of the land may constitute another risk.
