VP of risk management
ST. JOSEPH HEALTH
This has been a busy year for Lisa Ramthun in her efforts to maintain St. Joseph Health’s proactive approach to handling risks. She has formulated an advanced risk management strategy that includes responsive investigative protocols, risk analysis and improved corrective action; developed an advanced RCA tool that is becoming widely adopted by health systems around the country; and introduced SJH staff to a Khan Academy-style learning management system based on collaborative just culture principles.
The Health Quality Institute of the California Hospital Association also recognized Ramthun as lead cohort and champion of Health Care Reliability Organizing. She has more than 25 years of experience in healthcare, specifically in safety and risk management, and joined the board of the American Society for Healthcare Risk Management in May.
