The healthcare projects are faced with many challenges like dealing high- budget projects to deliver high- quality projects adhering to healthcare safety policies and regulations. The healthcare projects deal with sensitive patient data that involves high-risk and it needs to be protected by applying HIPAA security laws. These laws ensure that adequate security means are taken by healthcare organizations to potential threats to the ePHI that are collected by medical professionals.
An effective risk-management strategy helps the project team to take corrective measures to resolve any major project issues. Every organization must have a centralized risk management reporting system that helps the team to be on the same platform and look out for potential vulnerabilities that affected the project.
