Name: Martin Vasquez.
Directions:
Review the Week 3 Risk Management Case Study scenario in the course’s
Announcements section.
· Use the provided worksheet to robustly answer each section related to the
Case Study scenario. Include rationale and reasoning for your answers.

1. Identification
a. Identify the primary risk event.
The risk primarily involves delayed access to specialized care leading to deterioration
in patient health outcomes.
b. Select the most appropriate classification of the risk
(compliance, hazard, control, opportunity).
In the scenario provided, the most appropriate classification of the risk
is hazard. A hazard is defined as any circumstance or state that could
result in harm or negative consequences. The extended delays in
booking an appointment with an infectious disease specialist pose a
hazard as they result in unfavorable consequences for the patient,
including deterioration of their health, heightened discomfort, and a
poorer prognosis.
c. Describe the risk domain.
In the given situation, the risk domain falls under the category of "Patient Safety and
Quality of Care." This domain is concerned with issues that have a direct impact on
the well-being and health outcomes of patients, as well as the overall quality of
healthcare services provided. The extended wait times for scheduling appointments
with an infectious disease specialist pose a direct risk to patient safety. Delays in
receiving specialized care for a patient with HIV can result in a deterioration of their
condition, increased symptoms, and a decline in their health status.
The scenario underscores an issue of quality of care where the patient's access to
necessary specialized services is impeded by administrative inefficiencies, thereby
affecting the overall effectiveness of the healthcare delivery system.
