1. Purpose
This concept note has been developed by the Corporate Quality Improvement and Patient Safety
(CQIPS) Department to guide the response of this Department in providing support to HMC services
during the Covid-19 Pandemic in undertaking the following:

• comprehensive risk management to mitigate the risks and minimize the impact of Covid-19
Pandemic in HMC services;
• risk management contingency planning to deal with unforeseen threatening situations that
could seriously disrupt the care system and harm HMC employees and patients; and
• assessing the impact of business interruption in the event when an emergency situation
happens and providing feedback to the incident management team.

2. Objectives:
Key objectives of this program is to:

- ensure optimal safety and continuity of care;


- support a coordinated mechanism for service response;
- identify priority actions in a timely manner;
- maintain a safer working environment; and
- adapt to the demands of evolving situation

3. Definitions
Major Incident – Any event which, due to its size, nature and/or complexity, is likely to cause serious
disruption and would overwhelm one or more of HMC’s services.

Risk - The expression of the likelihood and impact of an event that would affect HMC’s ability to achieve
its objectives.

Risk management - is a process of, risk identification, evaluation of risk, response development, and
implementation of risk control, continuous monitoring and review of mitigation plan to prevent and
reduce the risk of injury to patient, staff, visitors and ensure safe environment.

Mitigation – refers to measures that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency
happening, or reduce the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies.

Hazard – a process, phenomenon or human activity that may cause loss of life, injury or other health
impacts, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.

A hazard vulnerability analysis – is a process for identifying a facility’s highest vulnerabilities to natural and
man-made hazards and the direct and indirect effect these hazards may have on the facility.

Crisis – an abnormal situation, or perception, which threatens the operations, employees, patients or
reputation of an HMC facility. It has the potential to negatively affect the smooth running of an HMC
facility’s operations, its image and credibility.

2
Preparedness - the knowledge and capacity of an HMC facility to effectively anticipate, respond to, and
recovery from the impacts of a wide range of likely, imminent or current events.

Readiness - the ability to quickly and appropriately respond when required. The outcome of planning,
allocation of resources, training, exercising and organizing to build, sustain and improve operational
capabilities based on risk assessment.

Recovery – actions taken to return the facility to normal day-to-day operations after the termination is
announced.

Contingency planning – is developing responses in advance for various situations that might impact
business. Although negative events probably come to mind first, a good contingency plan should also
address positive events that might disrupt operations - such as a very large order.

Hospital Major Incident Command Centre (MICC) – the place at each HMC facilities where the ON-Call
Leadership staff gather to support the management of the Major Incident within their own institution.

Risk Management Crisis Team – is the team of assessors deployed by Corporate Quality Improvement
and Patient Safety Department to services in the event of an emergency situation to support the impact
assessment of business interruption and provide feedback to the incident management team. Risk
Management Crisis Team may also provide assistance to leadership and management of business
operation on the ground as needed.

4. Introduction
HMC’s Major Incident Program is activated in response to events which are likely to seriously disrupt and
overwhelm one or more HMC services. As part of this program, every Corporate Department is required
to develop their response program, train staff and test and execute their programs in relevant parts of
HMC services.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has had intense impact on health and social services across the globe. It has
the potential to gradually pose higher level of risks to operation of services as the outbreak start to peak
the curve. Servicers may become overwhelmed, and face risks such as hampered communication,
shortage of essential patient materials, PPE and pharmaceuticals, or compromised safety and continuity
of care.

Risk Management is a core component of the HMC Major Incident Program. During major incidents, the
emergency risk management process is led by the HMC Major Incident Planning Team at the corporate
level. However, CQIPS is responsible to provide on the ground technical assistance to individual HMC
services in identifying and managing local hazards that poses risk to the safety of their staff and patients.

Risk management is a proactive approach of decision making to determine the best course of strategies
to safeguard quality and safety of care. Nonetheless, during large scale outbreaks the capacity of health
systems could be stretched to the extent that existing controls or mitigation strategies may not be
adequate to prevent major incidents happening, or situations may arise that seriously disrupt normal

3
business. Services will need to be prepared for warning signs of these situations and have contingency risk
response strategies in place to swiftly recover.

Risk Management Contingency Planning enables system capacity to initiate or take appropriate and timely
actions to support the service response. Contingency planning for emergency situations is crucial to help
minimize the disruption of care system, and reduce possible hazards created by the situation. Triggered
by pre-determined warning signs, a risk contingency strategy comes to effect temporarily as a recovery
mechanism and continues until the time when the service is capable to return to normal.

One of the aims of CQIPS is to make sure a consistent approach is taken to risk management where best
practices and lessons learned are disseminated across the whole of HMC. To this end, the Corporate
Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (CQIPS) Department has developed this response program to
Covid-19 Pandemic with a focus on technical support to HMC services risk management and risk
management contingency planning. Moreover, in the event when an emergency happens, the
Department deploys a Risk Management Crisis Team who provides assistance in assessing the impact of
business interruption and managing emerging risks. The Risk Management Crisis Team works in close
collaboration with Senior Leaders of the affected service and incident management team.

5. Emergency Risk Management and Risk Management Contingency


Planning Framework
The Corporate Quality and Patient Safety Department’s response to Covid-19 Pandemic is driven by the
following framework as a means to facilitate a proactive and systematic planning and execution of key
risk mitigation actions and contingency risk strategies in HMC service:

6. Implementation Stages:
6.1. Risk Assessment and Analysis:
The novel Coronavirus Pandemic exposes HMC services to new and emerging risks. An effective risk
management program that is capable of preventing hazards requires a comprehensive assessment of key
aspects of care system. At this stage services undertake risk assessment and analysis of those areas that
are critical in establishment and maintenance of a service response to the emergency of Covid-19
Pandemic.

6.2. Risk Mitigation and Planning:


At this stage services start to plan for and deal with identified areas carrying potential risk to quality and
safety of services. A proactive approach is used to plan and execute risk mitigation strategies in several
fronts to ensure efficiency and consistency in response; reduce the chance of failures in the system; or
minimize the impact of unavoidable interruptions.

Mitigation strategies may include decision such as:

• Accept the risk: where a risk does not have much of an impact on business, a service may accept
that the risk might happen and decide to deal with it if it does happen. For example, a service
accepts the risk of accommodating three beds in a two-bed in-patient room where space allows
that during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
• Avoid the risk: when a risk has potentially large impact on business, a service may totally avoid
the risk. For example, a service avoids admitting patients other than Covid-19 to prevent the
risk of hospital acquired Covid-19 infection.
• Control the risk: what it means is that if a risk occurs, there are mitigation strategies in place to
limit the impact of the risk, that if the problem it creates is smaller and easier to fix. For example,
to control the risk of disease transmission, the patient flow for emergency department is
changed and all Covid-19 suspected cases are screened, tested and treated in a space separate
to the service main emergency department.
• Transfer the risk: it is a strategy used to transfer the risk to another party. For example, a service
transfers all Covid-19 patients to other designated service, and keep their in-patient department
totally Covid-19 free.
6.3. Risk Management Contingency Planning:
While risk mitigation strategies may be successful most of the time in preventing hazards, it is important
to have a backup plan when a situation occurs where the expected result fails to materialize. This could
be situations where the care system becomes temporarily overloaded with number of patients during the
peak of pandemic, or a natural or manmade disaster happens that disrupts service operation. Preparing
in advance and knowing how you intend to react in the face of those situations enable services to swiftly
manage the situation with the least harm to patient, employees and business operation.

At this stage services analyze their hazard vulnerability and identify the highest hazards with major impact
on HMC service, its patients and employees where the facility may not have adequate preparedness and
response capacity. This exercise subsequently informs planning for proactive risk contingency strategies,
what is also called ‘plan B’. These plans are executed only when the situation is triggered, and ended soon
as the situation starts to recover.

7. Drivers of the Framework
The success of this program is underpinned by the following two important factors:

7.1. Risk communication:


Communication is a crucial component of effective risk management during emergencies. Some of the
key benefits include:

• risk awareness and understanding and promoting health protecting behaviors amongst
employees is paramount for the safety of both HMC staff and patients.
• informing the Executives about the probable risks assists in reallocation of resources and
attracting better support for safety mechanisms.
• having open communication channels between different levels of a service further assists in
people bringing forward the risks they identify during the day to day operation, and proposing
practical solutions to mitigate those risks.

7.2. Risk Monitoring and Review:


During disease outbreaks, particularly when the infection agent is of novel nature such as Covid-19, there
may be new risks emerging, levels of risks may be constantly changing, or the strategies in place may not
continue to remain adequate. Therefore, an effective risk management program will require regular
oversight of the situation during emergencies and adjustments of plans accordingly to ensure risk
management plans continue to remain responsive to the evolving situation.

8. The Framework in Practice:


Implementation of the Framework is facilitated by members of the Corporate Quality Improvement and
Patient Safety Department. The team works in close collaboration with the service Major Incident
Command Centre (MICC), and Senior Leaders or delegates in concerned services to jointly assess risks,
hazards and plan mitigation and other contingency strategies.

The following tools will be used to translate the framework into practice:

8.1. Covid-19 Risk Control Assessment Checklist for Services


This tool assists services in periodic self-assessment of the existing risks impacting upon their operation
and informing a comprehsneive risk management and preparendess plan for Covid-19 Pandemic.

The checklist outlines a number of key domains detailed with several questions that flags possible risks to
sufficiency and effectiveness of a service response (See appendix 1).

8.2. Risk Management Plan for Covid-19


The Risk Management Plan outlines all risks identified by completion of the above checklist. It presents
an anlysis of the risk severity, and lists the service’s risk mitigation and alternative strategies. Each
strategic action will have an owner with a target time for completion.

The Risk Management Plan is a dynamic tool that needs to be regularly monitored and reviewed when:

• the Risk Control Assessment Checklist is completed;


• the evolving situation is identified to have a different level of impact on the severity of a prevsiouly
identified risk; or

6
• the situation presents new emerging risks.

8.3. Covid-19 Risk Management Contingency Plan


Risk Management Contingency Plan outlines predetermined strategies to support the service response in
the event a situation occurs that disrupts the care system or threatens to harm patients or HMC
employees.

A hazard vulnerablity analsysis (HVA) is conducted for each service to identify the service’s highest
vulnerabilities to natural and man-made hazards and the direct and indirect effect these hazards may have on
the service operation. Based on the ranking of hazard scenarios the following are documented in the Risk
Management Contingency Plan:

• A minimum of five top scenarios are listed in the Risk Management Contingency Plan;
• Activation triggers are identified for each scenario which determines when a risk contingency strategy
or solution must be initiated;
• Specific contingency strategies are documented against each scenario and explanation provided on
how each of these strategies will be executed;
• The lead person responsible for each strategy is identified; and finally
• The end plan triggers are listed against each strategy to determine when to deactivate a risk
contingency solution.

9. Support to Managing Crisis:


During Covid-19 Pandemic, Corporate Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Department also provides
support to services in the event when an emergency or a disruptive situation emerges. The Department
deploys Risk Management Crisis Team to support assessing the impact of business disruption and provide
feedback and assistance to incident management team. The overall objective of this team on the ground
is to:

• anchor focus on risk management, and


particularly critical controls, during disruptive
events
• identify unintended consequences where
controls potentially conflict with each other
and may result in confusion at an operational
worker level
• provide objective reporting to help prioritize
actions and prevent blind spots
• engage front liners in risk management
discussions and increase focus on the reality of
control implementation and effectiveness

7
10. Responsibilities:
The HMC Major Incident Planning Team is responsible for maintaining the corporate level emergency risk
management register.

The Major Incident Command Centre (MICC) in each HMC service is responsible to ensure a Covid-19 Risk
Management Plan and a Covid-19 Risk Management Contingency Plan is developed and maintained for
their service.

Members of the Corporate Quality and Safety Department are responsible to work in close collaboration
with the Senior Leaders or delegates in each service and provide technical assistance in risk identification,
risk management as well as risk management contingency planning for identified hazards with high
relative risks. This also includes analysis of incidents related to exposure of staff to Covid-19 to identify
trends and areas of focus for improvement.

Each service FMS committee will be responsible for maintaining emergency risk registers for their service,
and examining existing measures to protect patients and their staff from potential risk that may lead to
major incidents.

The decision when to activate and deactivate a risk contingency strategy will be made by the Service Major
Incident Command Center.

The Corporate Risk Management Crisis Team will have responsibility to support assessing the impact of
business interruptions in emergency situations, and support actions to mitigate identified risks in clsoe
collaboration with the leadership and management of the service affected.
