“…Performance represents a crucial topic for health organizations, as they act in a sector characterized by high consumption of economic resources and a continuous reduction in public funding (Borgonovi and Compagni, 2013;Carletto et al, 2019;Fryer et al, 2009). Moreover, it is essential to guarantee the best possible patient safety, quality of treatments and service provided (Jankuj and Voracek, 2015).…”

Purpose To improve the performance both in terms of patient safety and quality of treatments, this research studies one of the most delicate processes of health organizations, that is to say, the clinical risk management in maternal and child pathway. This paper aims to analyze the accidents that occurred in a complex health facility through the standard mapping of this pathway included in the CartoRisk, i.e. a risk assessment tool for the a priori analysis. Design/methodology/approach The research uses the case study methodology, as it explores a complex process in which a lot of variables and actors are involved. It analyzes the accidents occurred in the largest health facility at national and European level. Findings After a presentation of the regulatory framework and the studied health organization, the research analyzes the accidents occurred in maternal and child pathway from 2014 to 2018. It showed the main risks according to the standard mapping of the maternal and child pathway. Furthermore, it identified 11 new risks mainly associated with physiologic birth and Caesarean birth. Originality/value This study presents the regulatory framework, the health facility and the accidents of a health organization. Moreover, besides the accident analysis, the research integrates further risks into the standard mapping adopted to carry out this study and proposes a risk management approach. Therefore, the value of the research for operators will consist of the integration of the standard mapping used for a priori analysis to be reused in the hospitals where they work, while for researchers it will represent a deep knowledge of a real case.

The increase in claims for compensation by patients to public healthcare companies highlights the key role of the provision for risks and charges. The resources set aside in the provision for risks determine the ability to cover losses or debts of determined nature, of certain or probable existence, of which, however, either the amount or the date of occurrence is undetermined. The research aims to identify the evolutionary trend of the provision of risk in national public healthcare companies. Moreover, it forecasts the future trend of provision for risks divided per the protection of civil liability towards third parties model. The research adopts a quantitative methodology to facilitate replicability and to investigate the trend of the provision for risks of a national public healthcare context, i.e., Italian public healthcare context. The research data set includes accounting information collected by websites of healthcare facilities in order to comprehend the evolutionary trend of the provision for risks. The results of the research describe a stable trend in the resources set aside in the provision for risks, a continuous decrease in the use of the provision for risks with a consequent increase in the fund itself, and a discontinuous trend in the percentage ratio between the annual provisions for the risk and the fund itself.
