Business Wire
Hospitals and healthcare organizations routinely face daily
challenges and complex demands as they strive to provide the best
quality care to patients. In recent years, the risks for this
industry have increased, with greater pressure coming from cyber
hacks or data security breaches and new regulatory requirements,
such as those under the Affordable Care Act. These emerging
challenges could potentially disrupt facility operations and test a
facility’s risk management plan.
ACE Group today released a whitepaper examining the critical
issues facing healthcare organizations, including healthcare reform
and physician integration; preparedness for pandemics; disruptive
staff behavior; telemedicine; and cyber risk, among several other
serious exposures. The paper also offers the actionable
recommendation of implementing a risk management program to
mitigate those risks.
“Critical Risks Facing the Healthcare Industry,” was co-authored
by Diane Doherty, Vice President, ACE Medical Risk Group and Renee
Carino, Chief Underwriting Officer, ACE Medical Risk Group. This is
the latest installment in ACE’s series of insurance and risk
management advisories designed for risk managers.
“The healthcare industry is rapidly changing as healthcare
organizations and their risk management departments are coming
under increasing pressure to meet existing and emerging
challenges,” says Ms. Doherty. “ACE Medical Group works with
healthcare organizations to develop proactive and comprehensive
risk management strategies to help address potential critical
industry challenges head-on so at the end of the day they can
better fulfill their primary mission to deliver the best possible
patient care.”
