RISK MANAGEMENT

Vigilance

Risk management is "an organised effort to identify, evaluate and reduce, wherever possible, the risks incurred by patients, visitors and staff".

THE MAIN OBJECTIVES OF RISK MANAGEMENT

• To improve the safety of people and property
• Reduce avoidable risks
• To limit the seriousness of the consequences of unavoidable accidents.

Given the dispersed nature of the structures and players involved, the clinic has set up a coordination committee, the aim of which is to bring together the players, resources and actions in this area. This coordination includes risk management and health vigilance management, and is also linked to the structures developing continuous quality improvement processes.
