Cost-effective risk assessments for small practices

In an interview with Medical Economics Assistant Editor Austin Littrell, Andrea Greco, SVP of healthcare safety at CENTEGIX, shared cost-effective strategies for conducting risk assessments in smaller practices.

Greco emphasized that, while different levels of training may be needed for various assessments, practices can start with an in-house approach. She highlighted the value of self-developed checklists, protocols, and policies tailored to a practice’s specific needs, stressing that identification, information gathering, and action-taking are key. While conducting risk assessments requires time and thought, Greco noted that these efforts can lead to significant long-term benefits.
