Risk Assessment – Identifying & Assessing Risks

Internal Audit & Corporate Compliance Annual Risk Assessment Process

• Conduct interviews with executive leadership, management and other stakeholders across the enterprise.

• Survey all members of the management team as well as 20% of non-management staff across the Fairview enterprise.

• Evaluate results of prior audit and compliance projects.

• Evaluate the impact of the current financial, operational and regulatory environment related to Fairview’s key initiatives.

• Consider top healthcare risks identified by industry experts (e.g. Crowe Horwath, CHAN Healthcare, Deloitte) and government and other regulators (e.g. CMS, Department of Health and Human Services, Joint Commission, Office of Inspector General).

Enterprise Risk Management –Identifying Strategic & Enterprise Risks

• Highest risks and concerns / risk statements are requested from executive leadership.• Internal Audit and Compliance facilitate exercise with executive leadership and board

members to pare down risks by determining impact, likelihood and velocity. Risks are then categorized as strategic or enterprise risks.

• Strategic risks – risks which, if realized, would prevent the organization from achieving its strategic initiatives and goals.

• Enterprise risks – risks for which redundant oversight and leadership is appropriate for some period of time until risk is mitigated to a point where it can be managed locally.

• Accountable executive owners are assigned to Strategic and Enterprise risks.• Accountable executive owners and their designees are responsible for developing

interventions to mitigate risks.• Status of mitigation activities is reported bi-weekly at Strategic Management Team

meetings.• Results of mitigation efforts are reported to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the

Board of Directors in June and December.

Tool – Enterprise Risk ManagementImpact: The financial or business impact if the adverse event were to occur.

4: Major • Event with a financial impact between $50 and $100 Million.• Major adverse events with negative publicity (e.g. infant abduction)

3: Significant • Event with a financial impact between $25 and $50 Million.• Adverse events with high reputational impact (e.g. workplace violence)

2: Minor • Event with a financial impact between $2 and $25 Million.• Published malpractice claim.

1: Insignificant • Event with a financial impact less than $2 Million.

Likelihood: The probability of occurrence given controls in place.

5: Almost Certain • Event will occur in most circumstances; 90% or more of the time (e.g. snow in MN in January)

4: Likely • Event should occur; more than 50% probability and up to 90% certainty (e.g. snow in MN in December)

3: Moderate • Event will probably occur; more than 25% and up to 50% probability (e.g. snow in MN in November)

2: Unlikely • Event could occur; more than 5% up to 25% probability (e.g. snow in MN in October)

1: Rare • Event would occur only in exceptional circumstances; <5% probability (e.g. snow in MN in September)

Velocity: The speed of onset of the event, should it occur.

5: Immediate • Very Rapid onset; little or no warning, instantaneous

4: Fast • Quick onset; several weeks or months to occur

3: Moderate • Moderate onset; between 6-12 months to occur

2: Slow • Slow onset; between 13 and 18 months to occur
