Risk assessment checklist tool for healthcare
What is TPSC's Risk assessment checklist tool?
Our Risk Checklist is the solution for digitization of the entire Risk Assessment and Evaluation process. Conduct risk assessments and safety rounds in a user-friendly manner and gain insight into the risks within your organization.
The digital checklist supports the entire assessment process. Dashboards provide an understanding of the risks and clearly show the status of all (sub) assessments and the resulting measures.
Advanced functionalities allow to easily conduct any assessment. Based on the answers, risks are immediately identified and classified. At the click of a button, a Plan of Action is drawn up. Resulting measures are secured and carried out via the Improve 2.0 application.

Applied methods of risk assessment and evaluation checklists
Risk assessment and evaluation checklists are essential tools used in healthcare to identify, assess, and reduce risks effectively. These are a few assessment elements that can be found in our risk assessment tooling:
- Assigning color codes
- Assign priorities that do not score sufficiently
- Set up actions that require follow-up.
By applying these methods and components in risk assessment, your organization can systematically identify and manage risks to protect their employees and patients effectively.
Hospital risk assessment checklist
Every hospital risk assessment checklist is different. That’s because every hospital works differently. Even though hospitals differ, there are similar categories and items to evaluate on potential hazards, risks, and control measures within a hospital. Just to name a few:- Physical environment
- Infection control
- Patient safety
- Medical equipment and devices
- Emergency preparedness
- Regulatory complience

Optimizing risk assessment process using checklists
Checklists are an ideal solution for optimising a risk assessment process. By standardising procedures, checklists facilitate thorough assessments while reducing the likelihood of overlooking critical hazards. In addition, checklists promote consistency, accuracy and efficiency in the risk assessment process. As a result, organisations can identify and prioritise risks more effectively and implement targeted control measures to minimise their impact. Regular review and refinement of the checklists, based on feedback and evolving risk profiles, further enhances the effectiveness of the risk assessment process over time.
Translate risk assessment results into improvement plans
Your checklist may show that a specific component in your work processes needs to be addressed. This is when you initiate an improvement plan. Within our software we adopt a structured approach for going through the improvement steps: The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.
The PDCA cycle reflects four activities that apply to all improvements in organizations and that must ensure better quality. The cyclical nature emphasizes that quality improvement should be a continuous process that requires continuous attention.
The four activities according to the PDCA cycle:
- PLAN: Look at current activities and develop a plan to improve these activities. Set objectives for this improvement;
- DO: Implement the planned improvement in a controlled setup;
- CHECK: Measure the result of the improvement and compare it with the original situation and check it against the objectives set;
- ACT: Adjust based on the results obtained at CHECK.
