Risk Categorisation

Background Risk assessment and management has become a key focus in midwifery practice, in light of failings in maternity care. Whilst studies have explored risk management within healthcare, it has not looked at its impact on normal midwifery practice. Aim To review the literature exploring how risk management principles fit with clinical midwifery. Methods A literature search was undertaken electronically as well as a search by hand. Nine papers were identified as suitable for the literature review. Data was extracted and used to inform the themes. Findings Three themes were identified: midwives being with women; midwives and normality, and increased sensitivity to risk; and organisational risk technologies and blame. Conclusion There is a mismatch between clinical midwifery culture and risk management. Risk categorisation and increasing risk surveillance clearly have an impact on midwifery practice. However, more research is needed to explore how midwives navigate around these systems.

The Impact

Fruit flies (Family Tephritidae), in particular the Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni; QFF), areone of the biggest biosecurity risks for New Zealand horticulture. New Zealand has one of the bestscience-based biosecurity systems in the world, based on years of experience and sound research. Theintroduction of fruit flies to New Zealand is now well managed in commercial fruit imports, but the riskis rising from growing trade and travel and, in the case of QFF, climatic adaptation and spread to moresouthern localities. Smarter solutions are continually needed to manage this increasing risk, and to dealwith such pests when they arrive. We present a brief summary of current and anticipated research aimedat reducing the likelihood of entry into New Zealand and/or minimising the impact for the fruit flyspecies of greatest threat to New Zealand. Research spans risk assessment, pathway risk management,diagnostics, surveillance and eradication.

Risk Assessment And Management

Risk management in commercial processes is among the most important procedures affecting the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), their innovativeness and potential contribution to global sustainable development goals (SDGs). The ecosystem of commercial processes is the prerequisite to manage risk faced by SMEs. Commercial risk assessment and management using elements of artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning technologies could be developed and maintained as external services for a group of SMEs allowing to share costs and benefits. This paper aims to provide a conceptual framework of commercial risk assessment and management solution based on elements of artificial intelligence. This conceptualization is done on the background of scientific literature, policy documents, and risk management standards. Main building blocks of the framework in terms of commercial risk categories, data sources and workflow phases are presented in the article. Business companies, state policy, and academic research focused recommendations on the further development of the framework and its implementation are elaborated.

The decision may be for an individual (e.g. whether to ground a pilot because of a health problem), for the whole of a workforce (e.g. whether to immunize HCWs against smallpox), or at a societal level (e.g. whether to permit the use of a pesticide). Risk management is the process by which decisions of this sort are made, following an assessment of the risks and benefits associated with each option. Depending on the nature of the decision, the process of risk assessment and management may be more or less formalized....

Risk Assessment And Management

Risk assessment and management have become central to many health and environmental issues in recent years. Despite high expectations for the applications of science to identify and manage risks, many of these issues remain controversial. Some of the foundations of risk assessment and management are explored and needs for improvement are identified. Inputs from models, data, and uncertainty analyses are reviewed and goals for risk assessment, management, and communication are considered. Ultimately a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of these processes, primarily by the specialists and decision makers, is a prerequisite to more effective involvement of affected stakeholders in risk management. Unless some better basic understanding is achieved, public expectations and demands for risk management are likely to remain unachievable.

Risk Assessment And Management

Big data and analytics are rapidly changing health care and enabling a degree of measurement and quality improvement not previously seen. For a variety of reasons including the limited number of quality indicators in mental health care, psychiatry has been late to the game. Use of technology to measure, monitor, and assess risk and change, would have a significant impact for key stakeholders including patients, care providers, and the community. Analytics offer an opportunity to increase our understanding of the psychiatric populations, target effective programs and interventions, and direct more personalized care at the critical intersection of risk assessment and prediction – risk management. The electronic Hamilton Anatomy of Risk Management (eHARM) aims to harness the capabilities afforded by data analytics to enhance the assessment, monitoring, and management of risk at the clinical interface.

Subject. The article addresses the issues of analysis and management of tax risks. Objectives. The purpose is to show the significance of certain methods for tax risk assessment, identify problems in tax risk management, propose measures to improve the management process. Methods. The study employs methods of induction, deduction, structural analysis, synthesis, comparison, schematic representation of relationships, statistical and economic, computational and constructive techniques. Results. The paper reveals that tax budgets are often non-realistic. There are no methods for qualitative and quantitative assessment of tax risks, regulatory support in the field of tax risk monitoring. Conclusions. The described stages of government’s tax risk management are interconnected. It is important to apply modern methods in tax budget preparation, to develop methods for quantitative and qualitative assessment of tax risks, to strengthen the monitoring of tax risks through designing an algorithm of its implementation.

Risk Assessment And Management

Modern organizations have raised a need to actively and quickly react to the changes in external business environment, as well as in internal processes considering not only the present situation, but also evaluating possible changes and forecasting the future. Enterprise risk assessment and management, which is strongly related with foreseeing the uncertain future, becomes topical not only scientifically, but also practically seeking to reveal new and unique solutions. Operational risk management in small and medium enterprises, creating the largest part of value added in the whole European Union, demands a separate attention and coordinated decisions and means. The objective of the paper – to analyse the process of enterprise risk management in small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as to propose adequate risk management solutions for these companies. After performing a research, it was found out that small and medium enterprises more than big organizations require a risk management strategy and methodology, need to distinguish activity objectives and events influencing them, and they can efficiently apply a risk portfolio method to manage risk. In small and medium enterprises it is recommended to incorporate a risk management system based on COSO ERM model that can be modified depending on company needs and possibilities, turning it into less formal and structured and easily applicable.

Recent inquiries show that there is a need for a better understanding of the relationship between mental disorder and risk, about what is involved in risk assessment and risk management, and for better training for all involved, whether in health and social care services or in the criminal justice system. This paper sets out the basis for this conclusion and describes some recent central initiatives to promote better understanding of risk and risk assessment and management.
