A MODEL FOR QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT IN A BULGARIAN MULTIPROFILE HOSPITAL FOR ACTIVE TREATMENT
Keywords:
healthcare, quantitative risk assessment matrix, probabilistic modeling, Pareto analysis.Abstract
The aim of the article is to present in detail the practical aspects of risk management in healthcare organizations. The quantitative risk assessment model was created using a probability-impact matrix (PIM) with probabilistic modeling of risk factors. Real data from the risk registers of an anonymous multi-profile hospital for active treatment, located in a large Bulgarian regional city in Bulgaria, were used.
