Piedmont HealthCare Organization can be considered as one of the largest healthcare
institutions that are owned by a physician, which provides multi-speciality treatments across the
medical field. The hospital is located in more than 60 locations and harbours almost 200
physicians and medical service providers across multiple specialities. One of the main aims of
this medical organization is to ensure that it provides the most innovative medical care for the
whole family and his community in general. In this essay, we shall highlight the various risks
that face these medical institutions and the various contingency plans they can employ to reduce
the risks from occurring.
It is paramount for the medical organization to develop a risk assessment matric that will
be able to identify the pertinent risks that can drastically affect the organization. Also, with the
risk assessment matrix, the medical organization will be able to classify the risks according to
their severity and also brainstorm on various solutions that can be implemented to solve the
issues. The healthcare industry is faced with many unprecedented risks. It is, therefore, important
for medical institutions to ensure that they are aware of the risks and are prepared for anything.
