CareScope Watch/Compliance/August 28, 2026
Risk analysis remains the most common enforcement finding
HHS Office for Civil Rights resolution agreements continue to cite an incomplete or missing security risk analysis as a root finding, often alongside missing multi-factor authentication on remote access.
Why it matters
A risk analysis is the one piece of paperwork investigators ask for first. Practices that cannot produce a current one start every conversation behind.
What it means for your practice
Confirm you have a risk analysis completed within the last year, that it lists every system holding patient information, and that the findings have owners and dates. Pair it with multi-factor authentication on email and remote access.
