Intellectual Indebtedness and Academic Integrity

Students enrolled in Athabasca University courses are considered to
be responsible scholars and are therefore expected to adhere
rigorously
to the principles of academic integrity both in assignments and tests.
In order to maintain test question security, duplication or sharing of
quiz and test questions is not permitted. Please read the Athabasca
University Student Academic Misconduct Policy.

Plagiarism is a form of intellectual dishonesty in which another
person’s work is presented as one’s own. Be certain that whenever you
use a secondary source in your course work and assignments you
reference your source in a consistent and logical manner. All direct
quotes (quotations of any number of words from the original) and
indirect quotes (paraphrased ideas) must be acknowledged. Failure to do
so constitutes plagiarism, and as with any form of academic
misconduct, it will be penalized. Penalties may take the form of
rejection of the submitted work; expulsion from the examination, the
course or the program; or legal action, depending on the specific
nature of the infraction.

Dutiful citation of quotes and paraphrased materials does not mean
that you can write an essay assignment by stringing together a series
of quotes. You should always try to summarize or describe someone
else’s ideas in your own words. When you present your own ideas or
opinions in a paper, provide evidence or arguments to substantiate your
position.
For information about the reference and citation styles of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA [6th ed.]), and how to write scholarly papers, visit Athabasca University’s Library Help Centre.

All written assignments in this course must:

• use correct spelling and grammar;
• adhere to APA format, as outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association;
• be your own work and be free of evidence of plagiarism;
• use Microsoft Word (or Microsoft Word compatible) format; and

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a health care risk management program.

Conduct research on approaches to risk management processes, policies, and concerns in your current or anticipated professional area ( Pediatric Operating Room ) to find an example of a risk management plan. Look for a plan with sufficient content to be able to complete this assignment successfully. In a 1,000‐1,250-word paper, provide an analysis of the risk management plan that includes the following:

1. Summary of the type of risk management plan you selected (new employee, specific audience, community‐focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example. Describe the health care organization to which the plan applies and the role risk management plays in that setting.
2. Description of the standard administrative steps and processes in a typical health care organization’s risk management program compared to the administrative steps and processes you identify in your selected example plan. (Note: For standard risk management policies and procedures, look up the MIPPA-approved accrediting body that regulates the risk management standards in your chosen health care sector, and consider federal, state, and local statutes as well.)
3. Analysis of the key agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe health care in your area of concentration and an evaluation of the roles each one plays in the risk management oversight process.
4. Evaluation of your selected risk management plan’s compliance with the standards of its corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to privacy, health care worker safety, and patient safety.
5. Proposed recommendations or changes you would implement in your risk management program example to enhance, improve, or secure the aforementioned compliance standards.

In addition to your textbook, you are required to support your analysis with a minimum of three peer‐reviewed references.
