Abstract
The article examines in detail the practical aspects of risk management in healthcare organizations. It presents modern approaches to managing the various types of risk encountered in the healthcare sector.
Special attention is paid to the identification and treatment of preventable, external and strategic risks in hospitals. A matrix for the quantitative assessment of preventable risks in healthcare with an assessment of residual risk has been created using real data from an anonymous hospital in Bulgaria..
