An Illustration of how our organization's risk management and compliance programs support ethical standards, patient consent, and patient rights and responsibilities.

According to Pozgar, Litt, Santucci, & MSCJ, J. (2016), every activity undertaken within the facility is guided by the outline of legal ethics within an organization. The activities include risk management programs such as the one that is currently operational (reducing nursing shortage) in my hospital. The laid down legal rules and regulations require that the risk management programs and strategies be undertaken in a safe setting (Khan, Rathnayaka, and Ahmed, 2015). In this regard, the risk management programs in the facility are undertaken in compliance with the legal laws because safety is given paramount priority during training and education facilitated by the operational risk management program. Moreover, the outlined legal rules and ethics advocate for inclusivity and diversity in all programs and services provided. The organization complies with this regulation because the risk management program is diverse and inclusive as it includes patients, workers, and visitors from different cultures, genders, and backgrounds who give their input on how to manage the risk of the nursing shortage (Brulin & Svensson, 2016). Everyone is allowed to give his or her opinion on all healthcare services affecting them. Further, the legal laws require that every healthcare provider be well informed on the services, programs, and activities that are undertaken within the hospital. Crucially, the current risk management program on operational also uses proper communication and relation skills to enhance the free flow of information concerning managing the shortage of nurses within the organization.

The legal and ethical responsibilities health care professionals face in upholding risk management policies and administering safe health care at our organization.

In my healthcare organization, healthcare practitioners such as doctors and nurses are the key players in developing and improving the safety programs following the risk management policies outlined to guide the risk management program. This fact will create awareness on the importance of upholding safety at all times and ensuring that at any given moment, there is enough qualified nurse within the hospital (Mannion et al., 2015). Again, all health care practitioners need to always comply with current legal rules, roles, and regulations put in place to guide the risk management program. When top management healthcare professionals lead by example, safety will be upheld, and quality patient-centered will be improved in the facility (Friend & Kohn, 2018). Most importantly, the law expects to urge the healthcare providers to efficiently and adequately communicate and relate with patients and the people close to them in a friendly manner. This fact will help to obtain meaningful information such as issues related to the nursing shortage that may be a significant help when making hiring decisions
