The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of the responsibility of a health care organization in establishing a risk management program that addresses liability and malpractice.

Write a 750-1,000-word report to the administrative team that:
Describes how the risk management program will address areas of concern over operational, clinical/patient safety, financial, legal/regulatory, and state-specific regulations, as well as technology.
