Welcome to the VHA online Risk Appetite Quiz

What IS risk?

How comfortable are YOU with taking risks?

We all take a variety of risks in our everyday lives, from riding in a car to sharing a new idea with friends or colleagues. VHA has a very low tolerance for risk with patient safety. Sometimes, in our business operations, taking managed risks can lead to opportunities to improve patient care.

Let's explore Anxious Adam's concerns about the risks of a trip to the beach and see how comfortable you are taking risks.

Adam needs your help to determine his beach risk plan. Some days Adam's an active adventurer, and others he avoids risk at all costs. If you were in Adam's shoes, what would you do?
