Risk Management & quality assurance

 

Ø INTRODUCTION


   Understanding risk management and Quality Assurance in project management is a key skill required of all project managers.

In this IACT  project risk management and Quality Assurance training course, you learn how to identify, measure, and analyze risks in projects of all sizes and scopes, and how to ensure the success of your projects from beginning to end by quantifying and creating a project risk management plan.The purpose of the quality and risk management plan is to describe how Quality Assurance and Risk Management will be structured and performed

 This IACT Course for identifying and handling uncommon causes of project deviations (i.e. risk). In addition this plan outlines a strategy to guarantee that quality aspects of the project are met and regularly monitored.

Involvement with both risk management and quality assurance programs has led many authors to the conclusion that the fundamental differences between these activities are, in fact, very small. "At the point of overlap, it is almost impossible to distinguish the purposes and methods of both functions from one another." "Good risk management includes real improvement in patient care through organized quality assurance activities." The interface between a proactive risk management program and a quality assurance program is dynamic and can serve the legitimate interests of both. There is little to be gained by thinking of them as separate entities and much to be gained by sharing the lessons of both. If one thinks of risk management in terms of "risk" to quality patient care, and that "assuring quality" is the most productive type of risk management, then there is no practical reason to separate one from the other.
