Abstract

Institutional Risk Management Education and Consultation (IRMEC) represents an application of the combined knowledge bases of occupational and organizational psychiatry, organizational psychology, and forensic psychiatry and psychology, to the specific context of risk management in hospitals and other healthcare organizations. The two primary dimensions of IRMEC are: (1) evaluation and education with respect to psychiatric risk management; and (2) consultation and education with respect to psychiatric aspects of general medical practice. From a “jurisprudent science” perspective, the “science” underlying IRMEC-based treatment interventions is well founded, its “practice” includes harmonizing institutional policy and clinical judgment, and its “roles” are grounded in traditional sources of ethical guidance for psychiatrists and psychologists.
