The operating room and anesthesia services are considered high risk because...

• High severity/frequency of claims
• Increased frequency of adverse events/incidents
• Unstable patients
• Reliance on complex technology
• High stress area
• Uncontrolled, unplanned, and high volume
• Multiple hand-offs
• Small margin for error
• High level of skill/specialization required
• Potential for injury is high
• Severity is high with injury

As a risk manager, you need to know a little bit about every area in your facility.  When you need to know a lot about your operating room and anesthesia services, call us.
