Discover The Five Steps Of LMS-Based Risk Management Education

Risk management education seeks to accomplish the long-term goal of reducing errors that lead to undesirable claims and liabilities.

In order to drive physician participation, it’s critical to provide educational programming that is engaging, intuitive, and modular.

When implementing a program that educates physicians about risk management, consider using a learning management system (LMS). Not only will LMS deliver the material provided by a risk management course, but it will also measure the learners’ outcomes. In order to do this, the LMS program should follow a five-step program as outlined below:

1. Identifying Risks. This is the first, necessary focus of an LMS-based module on risk management. Recognizing and understanding potential risk is the basis from which risk management programming evolves.
2. Analyze Risk Management Techniques. As the second focus of a risk management program, this step will review current risk management practices and offer additional suggestions that can contribute to physician awareness.
3. Select Risk Management Techniques. Through increased education about risk management, physicians may discover new techniques for future use.
4. Implement Techniques. This step requires physicians to put new techniques into practice.
5. Measure Outcomes. LMS automatically measures the success of risk management education by tracking outcomes. This may include sending reports to third party accreditors.

Choose The Right Risk Management Education System For Your Organization

Effective risk-reducing education not only equips physicians with new strategies for recognizing risks, but also helps physicians retain their learning through reminders and follow up surveys and assessments. Additionally, this type of program must be measurable, so you can quantify the efficacy of your material.
