Aon forms US healthcare partnership

Aon Risk Solutions has paired up with The Risk Authority, a subsidiary of the Stanford University Medical Network, to provide advanced tools, training and strategies to healthcare providers in the US.

“The health care industry is evolving rapidly. As the global leader in risk management, it is our responsibility to make sure our clients have access to the most sophisticated and state-of-the-art clinical risk capabilities and services available in the marketplace,” said Ron Calhoun, managing director and health care practice leader of Aon Risk Solutions. “We are excited to work with The Risk Authority, as they are the premier organisation for health care ERM solutions and their unique origin as part of Stanford University Medical Network allows them to understand and service our clients’ specific business needs.”

According to Aon, the new alliance will provide clients with added knowledge, tools, training and strategies to ensure a quantifiable return on investment as well as demonstrable reduction in risks. These tools are built on core medical malpractice and patient safety services, enterprise risk management assessment as well as innovations that are developed to address the complexities related to specific clinical and enterprise risks.

Jeff Driver, chief executive officer of The Risk Authority – Stanford said: “The alliance between Aon and The Risk Authority will combine the strength of Aon’s nationwide network of risk and people experts with The Risk Authority’s world-class health care risk consulting services, creating an unparalleled solution for the health care industry.”
