This group developed a Risk Analysis & Risk Management Toolkit (Toolkit). The Toolkit provides an example of HIPAA Security Risk Assessment and documents to support completing a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis and Risk Mitigation Implementation Plan. Our goal is to continue building this Toolkit and add documents to further assist organizations in their efforts to complete a Risk Analysis and to develop their overall Risk Management strategy. Stay up to date with the latest developments in Risk Management through our Risk in the News discussion at the end of each call.
