About

The goal of The Risk Authority Stanford, first and foremost, is to help save lives and prevent harm to patients. We believe risk management can and should be used to foster sustainable improvements in patient outcomes and satisfaction as well as risk financing and hospital performance. We are committed to creating a safer, more responsive healthcare landscape through personal involvement, cutting-edge technologies, superior analysis, and award- winning solutions that are both affordable and accessible.

The Risk Authority Stanford was created from the hospital risk management department serving the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health. We proudly continue to provide service and solutions to these institutions while also expanding our reach to include health systems, health plans, medical groups, other healthcare and non-healthcare organizations outside of the Stanford family.

For over 20 years, The Risk Authority Stanford has used its accumulated knowledge and experience to get results across all dimensions of healthcare risk management, including:

Enterprise Risk Management
Medical Malpractice and Patient Safety
Claims and Litigation
Worker’s Compensation
Risk Financing
Clinical Effectiveness

Working as your partner, we can provide your organization with the knowledge, tools, training and strategies that will identify opportunities for improvement, ensure a quantifiable return on your investment, and reduce your risk costs.
