Healthcare ERM Self-Assessment

Risk managers can easily become overwhelmed with the idea of implementing the enterprise risk management (ERM) model. But it is important to remember, this is not about a new project or initiative— ERM implementation is about transformational change. It takes an entire organization, supported by senior leadership, to migrate from a traditional risk management model to enterprise risk management.

Take this quick 10 question self-assessment to determine your organization’s culture, operations and aptitude for ERM.

Question Title

* Has your organization’s leaders engaged in any discussion of ERM?

Question Title

* Is your Board willing to support any necessary changes to support an ERM approach?

Question Title

* Is there someone in your organization that has the necessary ERM acumen, passion, credibility and respect to lead the implementation?

Question Title

* Does your organization evaluate and take advantage of opportunities to create value?

Question Title

* Are the leaders and board members of your organization aware of and understand the value of ERM?
