You are managing a project that involves processing confidential medical records. During the planning phase, what should be your first action to ensure the project meets all regulatory requirements for protecting patient information?
Conduct a detailed gap analysis comparing current data-handling practices with regulatory requirements.
Begin comprehensive privacy-compliance training sessions for all project team members.
Revise the stakeholder communication policy to increase transparency about data-privacy practices.
Identify and confirm all applicable laws, regulations, and standards that govern how patient data must be handled.
Before a project manager can evaluate gaps, train the team, or adjust processes, they must identify and confirm the specific laws, regulations, and standards-such as HIPAA-that govern the handling of patient information. Establishing this regulatory baseline sets the scope for subsequent gap analyses, risk assessments, and control activities, ensuring that later compliance efforts are targeted and effective.
