Legal Issues in Medical Travel Facilitation
Published in Frederick J. DeMicco, Ali A. Poorani, Medical Travel Brand Management, 2023
Before discussing risk mitigation in more detail, however, another general introductory observation should be kept in mind in assessing legal risk. If a facilitator is brought to court by a client, the legal outcome may to a degree depend on the judge’s “view” of the client. The judge may need to determine if the client appears to be an informed consumer or if the client appears to be a party in need of protection by the court. There is no necessary predetermined outcome of such a weighing. The judge will, if swayed by either of these possibilities, consider a variety of facts and circumstances. The important point for a facilitator is that the clearer information it provides to a client and the more appropriate the choices are that it offers to a client, the more likely the client will be seen as an informed consumer who understood the risks she was taking. This perception of the client is helpful in defending the facilitator. This observation should therefore help frame some of the risk mitigation factors described below.
The Remotely Possible: A Vision for a Digital First Future
Published in Rebekah Davies, Navigating Telehealth for Speech and Language Therapists, 2023
Data is a significant part of transformation and of the future of digital practice. It informs improvements and supports recommendations and business cases. It can also save lives. It is the evidence base of healthcare and where there is a pathway, process or person there is data to be collated. From feed back forms and radiotherapy outcomes and discharge to own home vs discharge to care, to number of patients admitted at weekends for swallow assessments, the data we collate can help us improve, adapt and even prevent the same or similar occurrences happening again by understanding the data. Risk mitigation is central to digital work and it is the underlying data that is the driver, preventer, enabler and saviour.

When data gathering extends beyond the perimeter of a clinic, medical office, or a hospital into a less controlled environment (including telehealth, remote sensors, and other behavioral data), provenance of the data source is a prudent risk mitigation strategy.96
Optimizing safety-measure combinations to address construction risks

A fault tree is a frequently used graphical method that simulates the propagation of failures through the system, i.e., how component failures lead to system failures [37]. The fault tree graph excels in easily determining the factors or causes of a certain risk, and safety managers can choose the corresponding risk-mitigation measures based on the risk factors or causes. Risk mitigation is usually achieved by reducing the risk probability and risk severity [2,20,38]. In the case of accident causes inferred using the fault tree analysis, reducing the risk probability is a very effective and proactive approach to reduce accidents. This is because the risk probability decreases when the probabilities of its factors decrease. This study was conducted within the scope of construction risks identified using the fault tree analysis; thus, the following optimization process was developed in terms of risk-probability mitigation.
Enhancing quality in preclinical data: Of hot science and cool quality

For example, does the exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) from the use of current and emerging cell phone technology cause harmful health effects? This is a simple but very relevant question for all mobile phone users that read the news about the new technology standard 5 G being deployed and a hot public debate around the safety of this technology. One may expect to find an answer to this question based on high-quality evidence that enabled market access for this very important technology. However, in stark contrast to the area of drug development where risk mitigation strategies are enforced by governmental agencies regulating market access, current safety regulations in the field of environmental influences on human health are essentially engineering standards that do not take into account potential impact on human physiology other than short-term heating risks. This is quite concerning as there were hundreds of studies conducted to-date with the intention to study various biological effects of RFR but they have delivered inconclusive, often contradictory, results [4].

The risks management can be represented by the procedures and measures series made by some organizations to face all kinds of exposure to the risk. According to Culp [5], risk management process comprises three parts: - Risk analysis seeks to identify the risks faced by an institution or business unit, understand how and when they arise and estimate the impact (financial or otherwise) of adverse outcomes.- Risk assessment is the determination of the quantitative or qualitative risk’s estimate related to a well-defined situation and a recognized threat.- Risk control in this phase, the appropriate measures on how to manage risk are chosen including the implementation of risk mitigation plans when needed.
