Task For this assessment you will be given information relating to the proposed introduction of a quality of care initiative in a health service. You are responsible for writing a brief regarding the potential risks and benefits of this initiative to the health service board and to make your recommendation about whether or not to adopt the initiative. What is a risk analysis? A risk analysis brief is a short formal written communication that highlights the key risks in relation to a particular proposal. In this case, the brief will address the risks of a quality improvement and patient safety initiative for which you will be provided details. While any risk appraisal is grounded in objective assessment, you must still apply a certain degree of persuasive language to your writing to encourage people to read or listen to what you are telling them. You need to think about the audience reading the brief, and how you can be convincing without straying from the factual. I have provided a template for you to work from, showing the key components you should include. Assessment content The brief will include the following key aspects: Section 1: Provide a short introduction to the quality and safety issue that has led to this quality and safety initiative, with reference to how this addresses continuous quality improvement (i.e. was the change stimulated by a need, a negative event, cost blow out, and so on). Section 2: Complete a risk analysis table which covers the following elements: – Outline at least three potential risks from the quality improvement and patient safety initiative. – Summarise the relative severity and likelihood of the associated risks. – Summarise how potential risks might be minimised. – Provide an indication of your assessment of the relative importance of the risk in relation to the potential benefits.
