The Regional Center for Healthcare Risk Management and Patient Safety of the Lombardy Region, with the technical partnership of Aon, designed an innovative Healthcare Enterprise Risk Management Model (hereafter HERM) to meet the following objectives: 1) Improve the safety of the Regional Healthcare System through the implementation of methods and tools aimed to identify, analyze and mange in an integrated way all the risks to which are exposed the healthcare companies. 2) Preserve the creation of social value in the medium-long term and the sustainable achievement of strategic and operational objectives. 3) Optimize risk management costs. 4) Reduce/mitigate adverse events in all business processes. 5) Enable the ability to anticipate and react to changes. 6) Establish sound long-term and risk-based strategies. This paper describes the structuring of the overall HERM Model Framework, and the related information flows, the tools supporting the Healthcare Enterprise Risk Management Methodology (such as the Risk Model and the Assessment Metrics) and presents the preliminary result of first experience of Healthcare ERM in Italy.

Possibility and risk in encounter between people with and without intellectual disability.
J Intellect Dev Disabil
March 2021
Social Innovation Research Institute, Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Unpredictability, the risk of harm and possibility of rewards, are integral elements of encounter. Risk literature offers insight on the complex ways in which risk perceptions and attunements shape behaviours and interactions in encounter between people with and without intellectual disability.
Method: The paper draws on risk literature, encounter literature, and examples from the authors' previously published studies on encounter and work integrated social enterprises.
Barriers and facilitators to implementation of a guideline for school-aged children with feeding difficulties.

School of Psychology, Grafton Campus, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Background: Swallowing difficulties are common and complex in children with physical, behavioural, and cognitive needs. This study (i) describes mealtime management and (ii) identifies barriers and facilitators to implementation of a guideline for school-aged children with feeding difficulties in one specialist school.
Method: Three data sets were collected: (i) 51 school records, (ii) 48 meal observations, and (iii) seven staff interviews.
Comparison of Clazosentan and Nimodipine on Vasospasm and Vasospasm-Related Outcomes after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage : A Post-hoc Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Six Randomized Clinical Trials.
J Korean Neurosurg Soc
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.
Objective: Clazosentan is a recently approved endothelin receptor antagonist indicated for the prevention of vasospasm and related complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). To date, no direct, head-to-head comparison between clazosentan and nimodipine has been conducted. In this study, we indirectly assessed the efficacy and safety of these two drugs in preventing vasospasm and its associated outcomes after aSAH.

Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto, 155 College Street, Suite 425, Toronto, Ontario, M5T 3M6, Canada; Research & Innovation, North York General Hospital, 4001 Leslie Street, Toronto, Ontario, M2K 1E1, Canada.
Purpose: Diversion or theft of controlled substances is a recognized problem affecting healthcare systems globally. The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for identifying and characterizing system factors leading to vulnerabilities for diversion within hospitals.
Methods: We applied a qualitative framework method, which involved 1) compiling a list of critical diversion vulnerabilities through observations and proactive risk analyses in the inpatient pharmacy, emergency department and intensive care unit of two Canadian hospitals; 2) coding the vulnerabilities into deductively and inductively derived themes and subthemes; and 3) building a conceptual framework.
The impact of deicer and anti-icer use on plant communities in stormwater detention basins: Characterizing salt stress and phytoremediation potential.

We present the results of a 1-year study that quantified salt levels in stormwater, soils, and plant tissues from 14 stormwater detention basins across Northern VA in an above-average snow year. We characterize (1) the level of salt stress plants experience, (2) the extent to which current plant communities feature salt tolerant species, and (3) the capacity of these species to phytoremediate soils and reduce the impacts of deicer and anti-icer use. Our results suggest that detention basin vegetation experience a range of salt stress levels that depend on drainage area type (roads: moderate to high > parking lots: low to moderate > pervious areas: none).
