Abstract

Contributions to risk management : On the balance between value creation and protection

Highlights

  • BackgroundRisk management involves all activities and measures carried out to manage the risk (Aven, 2014; Society for Risk Analysis (SRA), 2015), balancing the conflicts inherent in exploring opportunities, creating values and development, on the one side, and avoiding losses, accidents and disasters on the other (Aven, 2014; Engemann and Abrahamsen, 2020; PSAN, 2018; SRA, 2015)

  • When we implement a decision in practice, such as starting a new activity, we do not know the future consequences of the activity, but if the risks are judged acceptable in relation to the expected benefits, we are willing to pursue the opportunity (Aven, 2014)

  • Of the 5124 people invited to participate in the survey, all somehow engaged in the Norwegian emergency medical service (EMS), 4910 and 214 worked for the ground emergency medical service (GEMS) and helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), respectively

Summary

Introduction

BackgroundRisk management involves all activities and measures carried out to manage the risk (Aven, 2014; SRA, 2015), balancing the conflicts inherent in exploring opportunities, creating values and development, on the one side, and avoiding losses, accidents and disasters on the other (Aven, 2014; Engemann and Abrahamsen, 2020; PSAN, 2018; SRA, 2015). This background knowledge that forms the foundation of a risk assessment can be more or less strong, implying that it needs to be taken into consideration when describing and communicating risks To meet this challenge, different methods have been developed to evaluate and inform the decision-maker about the strength of the background knowledge. Team composition, education, medical care and treatment processes (e.g. a greater number of advanced medical interventions in HEMS [4, 5]), as well as the physical environments, differ substantially In both prehospital EMSs, educated, knowledgeable and skilled personnel are required to appraise the situation and adopt the appropriate approach in a vast diversity of encountered circumstances [6, 7]. Our study aimed to explore if the frequency of simulation-based training and assessment of NTS in Norwegian HEMS has changed since 2011 following these measures
