Asked by Mercy

Describe the new risk management processes at a nursing home in relation to state and federal mandates? I am thinking fire, tornado, hurricane disaster preparedness processes. Am I right? Which site can I get information?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Risk management in nursing homes seems to focus on ways to avoid being sued by a patient or his family. These risks probably include the ones you mention, plus risks of infections and malpractice. Check these sites for more information.
