It is believed that more than 70% of errors in a medical organization can be prevented, in particular, by using risk management methods and implementing risk management tools in the practice of their activities. To this end, the authors conducted a study based on data from the analysis of scientific papers and regulatory documents regulating quality management and risk management in healthcare. The study summarizes the main approaches to implementing risk management methods in healthcare and suggests an algorithm for analyzing the types and consequences of potential failures in healthcare (HFMEA). As the analyzed process, the process of performing doctors appointments by medical nurses for drug therapy was chosen, which refers to the main medical events, and drug error is a serious problem in drug therapy. The results of the study revealed possible risks associated with each step. The study is appropriate due to the fact that many healthcare institutions are currently implementing a quality management system to improve their processes.
