Keep healthcare risks and responsibilities in view
Healthcare organisations need to review risks across patient care, staffing, estates, information and service continuity. RiskMate provides an online register for recording concerns, assessing their significance and following up the actions agreed by managers.
For NHS organisations, private hospitals, general practices and care providers, a shared record helps teams discuss risks using consistent definitions. It also gives leadership teams a way to review concerns across departments and services.
Connect risk registers with management action
Record the risk, its owner, the controls already in place and the remaining exposure. Where more work is needed, assign actions and review progress. Teams can consider clinical and non-clinical risks alongside the objectives or services they may affect.
- Use agreed impact and likelihood criteria to assess risks,
- Identify risks that sit outside the organisation’s risk appetite,
- Review responsibilities, due dates and incomplete actions, and
- Prepare reports on significant risks and changes in ratings.
Support board assurance and incident follow-up
Current risk information can support discussions within your Board Assurance Framework. RiskMate helps bring ratings, controls and management updates together so the board can ask where assurance is sufficient and where further evidence or action is needed.
An optional incident reporting module lets teams log incidents and follow the steps taken towards resolution. See the features and reporting tools and licence options to discuss the modules your organisation needs.
