Applying for Risk Mgt Position - Any Advice?

Hi,

I will be applying for a Risk Management position in a fairly large hospital near where I work. I have 14 years nursing experience with Tele, ER / Trauma, UR and almost a year of management under my belt. BTW - my experience as a manager has not been very good - unfortunately....

Anyways, can someone enlighten me more on what the job duties are? I have "somewhat" of an idea - however, our Quality person is also called our "Risk" person at the hospital where I work. Some places will call it quality and risk management.

Can someone separate out the job descriptions between the two???

Anxious,

Mozzie

Our Quality nurse is basically the one who interprets JCAHO standards and helps us be compliant. The Risk Mgmt person is not a nurse here, although I believe it is a good nursing position. She handles problems that come up when someone makes a med error, or patients fall, or anything that would affect our malpractice insurance. Our ins. gives us premium credit if we can document we are doing certain things to achieve low risks. She tracks and trends all that.
