  3. HOSPITAL FINANCIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL RISK INCREASING • Financial risk growing in healthcare • Complexity of risks are changing • The Noblis – Center for Health Innovation research • Losses in investment income • Difficulty accessing capital • Risk Managers will face increased challenges

  4. AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH CARE EXECUTIVES • Research concluded: • Quality and patient safety a top three concern for CEOs • Creating • Implementing • Monitoring

  5. RESEARCH OF U.S. HOSPITALS • The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality • “A study of U.S. Hospitals found that while most collect information on adverse events, far fewer make effective use of the data”1 • The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee • Concluded: No consistent progress in improving quality • United States ranked last out of 19 countries on mortality 1Health Care Daily, Patient Safety Most Hospitals Collect Adverse Data But Systems Need Improvement, Volume 13, Number 236, Tuesday, December 9, 2008., pg. 1.

  6. CRISIS IS FAILURE OF RISK MANAGEMENT • Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is attracting more attention • Corporate cases have motivated organizations to embrace ERM • External pressures encouraging enterprise-wide risk • Organizations have begun to develop, support and commit to ERM

  7. Enterprise Risk Management, is it the “Promised Land”?

  8. Emory at a glance Teaching, research, academic healthcare 23,500 employees 12,500 students $ 3.0 billion operating budget 2

  9. Emory HealthcareFacts & Figures Largest healthcare system in Georgia Tertiary, geriatric, orthopaedic hospitals Multi-specialty & pediatric outpatient Long term care & independent living 3

  10. Emory HealthcareFacts & Figures 1,241 occupied hospital beds 11,100 employees 533 fte employed physicians $ 1.6 billion net revenue $ 64 million charity care 4

  11. Emory’s philosophy regarding risk “ Risk, in one form or another, is present in virtually all worthwhile endeavors. We recognize that not all risk is bad and our goal is not to eliminate all risk, for by doing so we would cease all productive activity. Rather, our goal is to assume risk judiciously, mitigate it when possible, and prepare ourselves to respond effectively and efficiently when necessary.” 5

  12. Why ERM? Break through operational silos Identify key exposures Gauge vulnerability points Assess appetite for risk Identify best practices Plan proactively Prioritize resources Reinforce accountability NO SURPRISES! 6

  13. It starts at the top Audit Committee of the Board Chief Internal Audit Officer Exec VP Finance and Administration The President is on board 7

  15. Emory UniversityEnterprise Risk ManagementGuiding Principles Emory upholds an early-warning system for identification of adverse occurrences; All individuals are empowered to report problems and concerns early on, without fear of retribution; Reports of adverse occurrences are responded to promptly and thoroughly; Investigations of adverse occurrences, complaints, and concerns are conducted with integrity and continue until the fact-finding process is concluded; Reliable and useful information is shared promptly with leadership and other key constituencies; Communication with the Emory community and the public at large is pro-active, honest, and respectful of individual privacy; Emory maintains a framework for regularly assessing the effectiveness of risk management practices and a culture that fosters process improvement when indicated. These are the principles to which we hold ourselves, and those with whom we partner. 9

  16. It’s a process…phase 1… Sub-committees identified 555 “risks” Ranked by severity and frequency Steering Comte edited down to 141 Rankings re-assessed 57 “key” risks based on final risk factors 10

  17. …phase 2… Primary Operational Leader (“POL”) - primary responsibility over functional area where risk has greatest potential impact, (e.g., CEO, COO, Dean, EVP, Provost) Risk Mgt Process Owner (“RMPO”) - sufficiently familiar with risk to prepare comprehensive Risk Management Plan, (e.g., Directors, Quality Officers, VP) 11

  18. …phase 3… President charged RMPOs with Risk Management Plans Steps being taken to manage risk at acceptable level Operational and communication responses to adverse occurrences 2 pages in 90 days 12

  19. …phase 4… Steering Committee reviewed 57 plans Accountability Existing interventions or wish list? RMPOs revised plans 57 plans delivered to Executive Committee 13

  20. …and phase 5 5 risk hearings/yearly, 3-hour sessions Maximum 2 operational areas/session 5 min presentation, 5 min q&a Bridge gap between exposure and response plan? Incorporate “best practices” Balancing mitigation costs with strategic goals Are we at an acceptable risk level? 14

  21. 18 months to kickoff Exec Comte charges Steering Comte with risk identification Pres rolls out Comte Framework “Key Risks”, POLs, Guiding Principles Pres charges RMPOs Plans to Exec Comte Initial Plans due Plan review 1st risk hearing Mar/Apr 2006 August 2006 Nov 2006 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 August 2007 Sept 2007 15

  22. Lessons learned Process itself reveals trends and opportunities for risk mitigation Need to stay focused on critical risks Priorities change over time due to internal and external factors Set reasonable expectations 16

  23. New in FY09 #1 Adjustments to “key” risks - Conflict of commitment Liquidity risk 17

  24. New in FY09 #2 Mapping - Share key risks with Board Committee responsible for specific operational area Governing body needs to be aware of risk management processes in place Audit Committee maintains responsibility for overseeing ERM process 18

  25. Perspective Bubble charts, COSO cubes, and influence diagrams aren’t for everyone It’s easy to over-engineer the process Privilege and confidentiality matter and can be managed Staff make decisions involving risk every day without calling it Enterprise Risk Management 19

  26. …And I believe in a promised land… Broad-based management ownership + Principled action + Common sense = Success 20

  27. Frequency & severity Likelihood of occurring (frequency) 1-low: <10% chance of occurring in 2 years 2-medium: <25% chance of occurring in 2 years 3-high: <50% chance of occurring in 2 years 4-very high: >50% chance of occurring in 2 years or already occurring Potential Impact (severity) 1-minor: unlikely to have permanent or significant effect on institution’s reputation or achievement of its strategic objectives 2-moderate: will have significant impact on institution but can be managed without major impact 3-serious: will have significant effect on institution and require major effort to manage and resolve occurrence, as well as its ramifications 4-very serious: will threaten existence of institution if not resolved Risk factor = [(.50) x (frequency)] + (severity) 21
