HIPAA Requirement
While it is required within HIPAA rules and regulations to complete a risk assessment regularly, the question may still be in your mind regarding WHY you have to do this.
The legal ramifications are obvious. If audited, you’ll have to show a risk assessment as part of your HIPAA compliance program. And remember, an audit or investigation can be triggered for several reasons, from an employee or patient complaint to a data breach. We could stop there with listing reasons to complete one, but there are other factors that you should understand that will perhaps make you more determined to perform one for your organization outside of HIPAA regulations.
