Risk Management Tool

Use

Example: SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Analysis

A SWOT analysis can be used in risk management to identify risks. These risks can be classified as internal (e.g., strengths and/or weaknesses) or external risks (e.g., opportunities and/or threats). The SWOT analysis can help in decision-making by allowing an organization to prioritize the identified risks and in deciding which risks to address first. The continued use of the SWOT analysis can also help understand which risks have been mitigated, which risks remain, and any new risks not previously identified within the context of an ever-changing health care environment.
