are actionable Mitigate, manage, monitor Defining risk appetite and risk tolerance/capacity Risk domain owners-accountable Evaluation of internal and emerging risks Early warning systems—no surprises Modeling to forecast risk Measuring TCOR and benefits A process not a program Assess risk culture regularly Support by board and senior management Part of operational culture with process owners and drivers Long term strategic view of risk Customized to your organization ERM at the front level: understanding role in managing risk Risk is considered in all facets of decision making Continually

meeting our Mission Identify risk treatments and leverage the Power of Ten Office of the President sponsors numerous risk treatment initiatives 23 ERM Program: Focus on Tools Example • “No Tech” – Informational Content – Distributed via web/email “Low Tech” • “High Tech” – Information Systems – Cognos based business analytics and optimization – Custom-built information systems Enterprise Risk Management Program Business Processes • “Low Tech” – Partial Automation of Data – Excel based, e.g. risk assessment tool “High Tech” “No Tech” 24 ERMIS Business Architecture 25 ERM at the Event Level Incident Adverse Event Claim / Lawsuit Incident reporting system captures identified event or near miss Adverse event directed to category manager/quality & risk* Directed to local risk manager, claims adjuster, OGC and OPRS Directed to category manager Serious events identified and reviewed by weekly quality of care steering committee Case reviewed by facility risk committee for quality of care issues Trend reports developed by location quality or risk Sentinel event/root cause analysis Corrective action is reported to board of regents as part of request for settlement Metrics & benchmarks Metrics & benchmarks Retrospective reviews/UC action Trend reports provided to location quality & safety committee Trend reports provided to location quality & safety committee Trend reports are forwarded to the location executive committee of the medical staff Trend reports are forwarded to the location executive committee of the medical staff Trend reports provided to governing body Trend reports provided to governing body (includes near misses) 26 Resources for Integration Source: http://www.ucop.edu/riskmgt/erm/bulletins.html 27 UC Action Background • Basic system functionality was originally intended to be a campus specific activity tracking tool • Original tool was repurposed to automate the retrospective review process • Team has made multiple presentations on the proposed functionality of the tool, and incorporated changes and suggestions from campus and medical center risk managers whenever possible Tools for Evaluating Risk 29 Overcoming Barriers ERM is not just about the deliverables!! • Not just a Risk Assessment, or a Strategic Plan, or Mitigation Plan • ERM does not replace what you are already doing but rather leverages these activities and builds on them • ERM is about the thought process-does not replace your professional experience or judgment! Value of ERM • • • • Improved management of risks Improved quality and sustainability of controls Consistent approach and terminology used across the organization Improved visibility and understanding of risk across the entire organization (causality as well as impact) • Makes Everyone a Risk Manager!!! 30 Dashboards A Key Component of ERM Infrastructure High Level and Drill Down Monitoring: Example Key Risk Indicators 32 ERMIS Dashboards Background • • • Users - Risk Managers enterprise wide, enterprise leadership, general counsel’s office, external finance staff, UCSF Police Department personnel, and medical center HR and quality departments Web based BI solution Designed to provide: – – – – – Better quantitative analysis capabilities Improved analytical and reporting capabilities Support for leading risk governance and compliance processes System wide visibility, with local flexibility Scalability without additional burden on UC staff ERMIS Cognos Dashboard Development Priority Pipeline Process Overview Steps 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Medical Quality Strategic Sourcing Office of General Counsel Travel Incidents, Calls, Claims UC Travel Dashboard Waste Management Workgroup Ergonomics / Remedy Interactive Education Abroad Program (EAP) Construction Contracts & Grants StayWell Location Participation Medical Center PL Cube Rep Risk - (CDPH, OSHA) University of California, Irvine Safety Index + Enhancements Human Capital + Enhancements Budget and Risk Assessment Master Scorecard UC Ready Dashboard Effort Reporting Fine Arts IVOS Process Overview Steps 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Dashboard Name UCSF Disability Management NFPA UCSD Scorecards (Target 3/11) UCSD HR UCD MC UC Police Dept (Target 4/11) TM1 – ERMIS / Budget and Plan Health Policy and Services 2 3 Process Step Indicators = Completed 2.
