Der vorliegende Leitfaden wurde im Rahmen eines wissenschaftlichen Forschungsprojekts entwickelt und in einer realen Praxisanwendung validiert. Das beschriebene Konzept unterstützt die Verantwortlichen, Schritt für Schritt ein ganzheitliches Risk Management in der Praxis umzusetzen. Der systematische Umgang mit Risiken wird an konkreten Spitalbeispielen erläutert, sodass der erprobte Risk Management Ansatz adaptiert und in pragmatischer Weise in Spitälern und Krankenhäusern umgesetzt werden kann.

This textbook demonstrates how Enterprise Risk Management creates value in strategic- and decision-making-processes. Since traditional risk management in practice is often an independent stand-alone process with no impact on decision-making processes, it is unable to create value and ties up resources in the company unnecessarily.
