As the Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights’ (OCR) next rounds of audits heat up this year with the new protocols in place, management of risk becomes more and more critical.

However, when it comes to transitioning from risk analysis to risk management, many covered entities and business associates struggle to prioritize the findings and efficiently track risk management efforts.
