    Healthcare risk managers play a vital role in protecting their organizations — but not all are directly involved in the financial side of risk. This educational webinar bridges that gap by introducing key risk financing concepts and strategies that every risk manager should understand. Whether or not you manage risk financing in your current role, this session equips you with the knowledge to engage confidently with leadership, insurance providers, and other stakeholders involved in your organization’s risk program.

    The session covers essential risk financing terminology to help you build a strong foundation, explains how risk financing is structured and functions within a healthcare organization, and explores real-world case studies that illustrate how different strategies are applied in practice. Ideal for healthcare risk professionals looking to expand their strategic understanding, this webinar enhances your ability to collaborate across departments and support informed decision making.
