Risk Management and the Emergency Department Executive Leadership for Protecting Patients and Hospitals Shari J. Welch, MD, FACHE, FACEP; Kevin Klauer, DO, EJD, FACEP; and Sarah Freymann Fontenot, BSN, JD The emergency department (ED) is not only the front door to your hospital, it's where your organization is most susceptible to adverse outcomes. This handbook provides the knowledge and tools you need to address or avoid the problems inherent in ED healthcare. With an emphasis on the importance of leadership, the authors explore how executives can design systems that minimize risk at the front lines. Real-world examples illustrate strategies that lead to a safer, more reliable healthcare environment. The book is divided into four parts: the fundamentals of risk management, healthcare law, strategies for dealing with high-risk clinical areas (e.g., head and neck injuries, medication errors, dangerous patients), and survival strategies (e.g., how to avoid a lawsuit).
