...Running Head: RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Management Jennifer Sprague HCS 451- Health Care Quality Management and Outcomes Analysis May 16, 2011 Isamel Caicedo When looking at organizations and the risks that they have to manage on a daily basis, we see where policies, procedures, and outcomes come into play. Though risks are different and challenge organizations in different ways, there are steps that every organization should take to identify and manage their risks. These risks that organizations take affect not only the organization but the stakeholders as well. There are types of education, training, and/or policies that help the hospital to mitigate risks within the organization. Through the risks that organizations take, the purpose of the risk management team shines through to prove that these organizations can compete with others and rise above other organizations. The main purpose of risk management in the health care organizations are described in Chapter 1 of the Risk Management Handbook stating, “… health care risk management has moved from a discipline focused almost exclusively on medical professional liability issues to a profession concerned with all risks associate with accidental losses facing a health care organization,” (Carroll, 2009). This statement shows the health care organizations not only are trying to protect their company as a whole, but everyone and everything involved. In the hospital setting, “providers have come to realize...

...Chapter 1 Inroduction Paint History Chapter 1 1.1 Paint History: Paint is one of the oldest synthetic substances known, with a history stretching back into prehistoric times. Prehistoric man made it more than 35,000 years ago as they mixed clays and chalks with animal fats and used these paints to depict their hunts on cave walls. By 2500BC, Egyptians had improved the technology by developing a clear blue pigment by grinding azurite, gums, wax and egg white as binders and solvents for their paints. Greeks learnt to blend paints with hot wax, rather than water, making paint both thicker and easier to spread. By this time, colours were available from natural and synthetic sources, one of the most interesting being a purple pigment made from heating yellow earth till it turned red and then plunging it into vinegar. In the eighteenth century, paint factories began to open in Europe and America, and by the nineteenth century, mass production had brought prices down where houses began to be painted. In the twentieth century, paint manufacturing and its function is widely understood especially from chemical point of view, meaning that paint manufacture has finally moved from being an art to being a science. 1.2 Paint Importance and Its Production: Paints are used for the protection and appearance enhancement of houses, buildings, cars, ships and many more. They are used as a safety feature to grab person attention like in lane markings on road and...

...facilities. Currently, QAI provides services in these areas: Information Services, Quality Assurance & Scientific Support, and Archiving.” (Quality Associates Incorporated) They advise their clients about sampling and statistical procedures that can be used to control their manufacturing processes. The data required for the study giving to QA from the client, a sample of 800 observations taken during a time in which that client’s process was operating satisfactorily. The sample standard deviation was 0.21 and population standard deviation was assumed to be 0.21. QA suggested taking random samples of size 30 occasionally to monitor the process on an ongoing basis. The client could quickly learn whether the process was operation reasonably and if not, corrective action could be taken to remove the problem. The design specification indicated the mean for the process should be 12. The hypothesis test suggested by Quality Associates follows. H0: u = 12 H1: u ≠ 12 Corrective action will be taken any time H0 is rejected. Conducting the hypothesis test for each sample The population of interest is 800 and each of four samples, each of size 30, collected at hourly intervals during the first day of operation of the new statistical control procedure.
