[MENTAL HEALTH RISK MANAGEMENT: A THEORETICAL CHALLENGE TO APPLICABLE PRACTICE].

Abstract

Introduction: In the mental health system, there is a challenging variety of risks, which stems from both the uniqueness of the patients and the treatments provided. How can we deal with the risk? A classic risk-management approach is based on a 4-step model: identification of the risks; analysis of the identified risks and prioritizing the treatment; treatment: dealing practicably with the risks; evaluation of the activity's effectiveness in retrospect.
