Reducing Risk for Healthcare Providers

Healthcare services such as surgery centers, clinical trials and home health care carry a variety of liability risks that businesses and their insurance brokers need to be aware of. As an insurance broker, one of the most valuable things you can do is provide tools that improve risk management.

Admiral Insurance has partnered with OmniSure to provide risk management services to healthcare professionals.

OmniSure offers risk management programs for many types of healthcare settings, which can help health administrators and employees reduce liability exposure.

The basic risk management program, for example, covers 12 principles of risk management. Principles are explained in a series of videos that also include checklists for providers to follow. After watching the videos, providers are asked a series of questions to see how well they understand each principle, and can earn a certificate showing they have completed the risk management program. Some of the topics covered include:

  • Effective Incident Management
  • Improving the Patient Experience
  • Preventing Communication Errors
  • Protecting Confidentiality
  • Documentation
  • Diclosing Events
