Smart Strategies to Holistically Tackle Your Organization's Risks

Compliance Conversations by Healthicity

We kicked off this episode of Compliance Conversations with a guest host, our very own compliance expert, Marcie Swenson, and her special guest, Emily Haley, who has worked as a Chief Privacy Officer and Compliance Director at Intermountain healthcare and is currently working in Care Transformation. In the first half of the show, Haley gave us a full fledged rundown on gap analysis, risk analysis and risk management plans. In the second half of the show, we dove unapologetically into the OCR’s phase 2 desk audits and what we can all learn from them. “Everybody is familiar with OCR’s phase 2 desk audits, where they audited 63 covered entities, and I think 40 something business associates. They used a scale 1 through 5, 1 being the very best risk analysis or risk management plan, and 5 being the very worst...more than half both business associates and the covered entities had scored a 4 and a 5. That’s shocking. That means most of us are not doing the right things.” Tune into our latest episode of Compliance Conversations, Smart Strategies to Holistically Tackle Your Organization’s Risks, with guest host Marcie Swenson. In this podcast we’ll cover how: Every Department Must Work Together to Reduce Risks Risk Analysis is Dependent on Gap Analysis and Management Plans To Mitigate the Lack of Updated Risk Analysis Information From the OCR
