Monograph Different roles , same goal : Risk and Quality management Partnering for Patient Safety _____ ASHRM Monographs Task Force FOREWORD When a patient is harmed as a result of a medical error, risk managers and Quality managers have immediate interests in identifying the circumstances that led to the error. These interests, however, can be quite divergent. Citing reasonable concerns over privilege and potential for future litigation, risk managers go to great lengths to protect information. They typically conduct an in-depth investigation to assess the liability exposure to the organization and help mitigate any future loss that may arise. Quality managers often conduct a parallel investigation. They aim to design formal process improvement initiatives that target the underlying causes of the event. Their focus has not necessarily included concerns over litigation or financial loss. Rather, their primary goal has been to improve the Quality of patient care.
