Risk Assessment Checklists, also referred to as RAC, is an innovative tool enabling healthcare organizations to systematically self-assess compliance with evidence-based mitigation strategies for HIROC’s top risks. The top risks are ranked by those which lead to significant medical malpractice claims.
"The Risk Assessment Checklists add immensely to our patient safety programming."
– Colette Ouellet, Queensway Carleton Hospital
