“…Risk management is an important aspect in health care system; to not only prevent breakdowns but also to ensure quality and proper decisionmaking (Skaret et al, 2019). Risk management in health care is a structured process for minimizing potential liability to health care providers, avoiding harm to patients, stabilizing health care providers (Rozel & Zacharia, 2021). While, Pascarella et al, (2021) defined risk management as a systematic process of risk identification, analysis, treatment, evaluation of potential and actual risks and controlling incidents which are inconsistent with the normal practice and activities of the hospital, incident reporting becomes the foundation stone of a sound system of managing risks.…”

Method: In this study, the steps of concept analysis were as follows: Select a concept, determine its aim, identify various definitions of the concept, attributes, determine its implications, process and identify the risk management roles and responsibilities. Data Collection: For the purpose of this concept analysis, PubMed, Google search engines, Ovid, CINAL and ProQuest, were scanned and searched using the keywords. Conclusion: Risk management is a requirement for hospital accreditation and focuses on improving the quality and safety of healthcare services. Healthcare providers want to improve outcomes while minimizing the risk of harm to patients. Despite the provider's best efforts, medical error rates remain high with significant disability and death.Recommendations: Conducting further research aimed at raising awareness of the concept of risk management and its effect on quality patient care in the intensive care units among different health sectors is recommended.

The everyday practice of emergency psychiatry involves a blend of clinical skills and legal knowledge. Perhaps more than any other clinical specialty, emergency psychiatry is beholden to the use of legal processes as a fundamental tool for ensuring that people in need of care are helped and that their civil rights are protected. Significant variation in rules and standards across jurisdictions complicates an already perilous balance between autonomy and beneficence. In addition to primary tools such as voluntary and involuntary commitment, emergency psychiatrists routinely work with important standards relating to confidentiality and duties to third parties. Furthermore, although psychiatry and emergency medicine are not frequently sued specialties per se, the psychiatric emergency service poses special risks for malpractice liability.
