Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in healthcare promotes a comprehensive framework for making risk-based decisions that guide the protection and development of high-quality services and their contribution to improving healthcare outcomes. It enables better management of uncertainty and associated risks and opportunities. In particular, it guides the organisation to address risks comprehensively and coherently, instead of trying to manage them individually.
