Understand the quality management system and the role of risk analysis in the process  \n2. Identify the specific steps involved in the risk analysis process  \n3. Understand how to manage risk and implement effective risk communication strategies  \nUnexpected events and  \noccurrences can be disruptive  \nto a Sterile Processing  \ndepartment (SPD) and produce a domino effect throughout the healthcare facility. As part of a quality management system (QMS), such disruption may be prevented or minimized by proactively undertaking a risk analysis to strive to produce a system that performs as intended and consistently over time to achieve zero defects – and, as a result, zero harm. While certain risks are out of Sterile Processing (SP) professionals’ control, others can be eliminated or minimized.  \nObjective 1: Understand the quality management system and the role of risk analysis in the process  \nANSI/AAMI ST90 defines QMS asa collection of business processes focused on consistently meeting customer requirements and enhancing  \ncustomer satisfaction. It is expressed as the organizational structure,  \npolicies, procedures, processes, and resources needed to implement quality management.1 The QMS must have the full support of facility leadership and upper management as well as staff in the SPD in order to succeed and sustain gains. The risk analysis process is a key part of continuous quality improvement (CQI) and an integral part ofa QMSto ward off unexpected or unplanned disasters.  \nWhat is a Risk Analysis?  \nRisk analysis is a process with  \nthree distinct components: risk assessment, risk management and risk communication.2 The sterilization risk [medical device processing] analysis should be part of the overall infection prevention and control risk analysis in accordance with accreditation agency requirements.2 An SPD risk analysis will be facility specific and will vary based on complexity of the organization (e.g., hospital versus office-based practice) . In March 2019, The Joint Commission  \nCRCST SELF-STUDY LESSON PLAN   \nRisk analysis is all about preparation ahead of a disaster or an untoward event. As humans, we perform risk analysis every day as part of our activities of daily living, but never think of it in such terms. We assess the risk of being hit by a car if we cross against the ligh","cbCainIib5Ll8RYT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainIib5Ll8RYT","pdf",251037,"English","# Learning Objectives\n## Quality Management System and Risk Analysis Role\n## Steps and Components of Risk Analysis\n## Managing Risk and Risk Communication\n## Risk Analysis as Preparedness for Sterilization Processes","[{\"question\":\"What are the learning objectives of CRCST 169?\",\"answer\":\"The lesson objectives cover understanding the quality management system and risk analysis role, identifying steps in the risk analysis process, and learning how to manage risk and implement effective risk communication strategies.\"},{\"question\":\"What components make up risk analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Risk analysis consists of three components: risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is risk analysis important for sterile processing departments?\",\"answer\":\"Unexpected events can disrupt an SPD and create a domino effect throughout the healthcare facility.
