Healthcare top risks for 2020 and beyond
Healthcare professionals manage risk every day as they seek the best outcomes for patients and the organization. Careful attention is spent on identifying, assessing, and mitigating risk as much as possible. For years Crowe healthcare professionals, including auditors, clinicians, coders, cyber specialists, compliance specialists, data scientists, and analysts have been tracking, categorizing, and identifying the likelihood and impact of the top risks facing the industry.
This year’s report is more vital than ever as it spotlights the changing nature of risk in a post-COVID-19 environment. New risk factors have arisen, such as liquidity challenges, staffing fatigue, reductions in elective procedures, and changes in Medicare requirements. Existing concerns about IT security and data privacy have been enhanced by increased use of telemedicine and remote work. See how data from hundreds of institutions around the country can help you plan for the year ahead.
- As a result of this session, attendees should be able to:
- Assess how the current environment has impacted risk
- Assess their organization’s top risks and develop an effective mitigation plan
- Identify critical changes that need to be made in a post-COVID-19 environment to manage and mitigate risk
- Develop a strategy for assessing and auditing risk that leverages staff working remotely, the incorporation of data, and automation
For many organizations and healthcare professionals, their daily routines have been upended, and things will never be as they were in early 2020. Rapid changes have brought about new risks and elevated the importance of others. Is your risk strategy ready to meet the challenges ahead? Join us to find out.
