Though the healthcare field offers great rewards in medical advancements and ground-
breaking procedures that improve a person's quality of life, this comes with great challenges and
potential risks. In most cases the rewards outweigh the risk however risk factors cannot be
overlooked. While providing clinical care is a mere fraction of the equation, there are other
factors such as legal aspects. Legal matters are representative in lawsuits, HIPPA violations,
data breaches, and malpractice to name a few.
In order to provide ground-breaking medicine innovations, there is an internal framework
that must be done. Customarily this work goes unnoticed to the general public and even
patients. Part of the internal framework is risk management. Risk management entails
evaluating current processes and determining the appropriate steps to limit threats from
occurring or continuing. When considering risk management areas of interest include action
plans, evaluations, reporting mechanisms, and risk identification.
One of the most common legal aspects in healthcare is HIPPA breaches. A HIPPA
breach is a violation that results in healthcare information being compromised to unauthorized
parties or individuals. The HIPPA Breach Notification Rule requires HIPPA covered entities and
their business associates to provide notification following a breach of unsecured protected health
information (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2021). This means contacting the
parties that are directly impacted by the breach of information. All parties should be contacted
within 60 days of a breach. The notification per guidelines can be sent via U.S Postal mail or by
e-mail if this is the agreed-upon method. Having a notification method established before a
violation means healthcare organizations must have measures in place.
