Risk in healthcare is not theoretical. It is operational, daily, and often hiding in plain sight.
In Episode 79, Zac Pandur and Ami Assigal take a structured look at risk management in general practice, focusing on compliance, staff accountability, and the increasing scrutiny around Medicare and Assignment of Benefit.
As regulations tighten, practices that lack discipline in their processes will be the first exposed.
We cover:
• The real sources of risk in medical practices today
• Assignment of Benefit changes and what they mean for your clinic
• Medicare compliance and audit preparedness
• Staff training, accountability, and behavioural risk
• The intersection of HR, compliance, and operational control
• Practical steps to assess and mitigate risk across your practice
We also speak honestly about:
• Why staff behaviour is one of the biggest uncontrolled risks in clinics
• The gap between “knowing” compliance and actually executing it
• The ownership burden, and why risk ultimately sits with you
If you are not actively managing risk in your practice, you are accepting it. This episode gives you the framework to take back control.
