The Department of Health and Human Services developed a HIPAA risk assessment tool for covered entities to use to evaluate their HIPAA compliance posture.  The tool is an interactive program and presents a question about activities related to each HIPAA requirement.  A “yes” or “no” answer shows if corrective action needs to be addressed for any particular item.  There are 156 questions to complete the risk assessment.  Copies of the risk assessments (for Administrative, Technical and Physical Safeguards) are also available in Word format. 

For a copy of the tool, click here.  

Covered entities can use the tool to formulate HIPAA Policies and Procedures and check their compliance posture.
