Healthcare Risk Solutions
Risk management services designed to protect healthcare facilities, staff, assets and continuity.
Strengthening resilience across healthcare operations
The healthcare sector operates under high stakes. From patient safety and regulatory compliance to facility management, supply chains and digital systems, risks can disrupt care delivery, increase costs or damage reputation. Health systems, hospitals, clinics, diagnostic labs and physician practices all must manage diverse exposures in a complex environment.
At Zurich Resilience Solutions, we support healthcare organizations in identifying threats and implementing strategies to mitigate them. Our approach combines clinical safety, property risk, cybersecurity, continuity planning and supply resilience so organizations can operate with confidence.
Healthcare workers experience more nonfatal injuries and illnesses than any other industry. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the healthcare and social services sector had an incidence rate of 3 cases per 100 full-time workers in 2023—higher than manufacturing or construction³. Protecting frontline workers is an imperative for effective operations.
Furthermore, healthcare data breaches have increased sharply over the years given the value of the sector and its data. In 2023 over 133 million patient records were exposed or disclosed in reported incidents¹. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, 5.6 million records were compromised².
These trends illustrate that healthcare is not just vulnerable to physical and operational risk but also digital risk. Integrating risk management across all domains enables more resilience, aids compliance, protects staff and infrastructure and safeguards continuity of care.
Risk management is critical for healthcare
With patient lives, sensitive data and high-value property at stake, proactive risk management is essential in healthcare. Organizations that anticipate hazards and prepare response strategies can reduce loss, minimize disruptions and maintain trust.
Our healthcare risk solutions support hospital systems, specialty practices and clinical networks. We help reduce patient safety events, strengthen digital defenses, optimize property resilience and build robust continuity plans so healthcare organizations can focus on care delivery.
