Risk management

NextHealth Flow

Sold on its own

Risk management is the facility's risk register in NextHealth Flow. Each risk records its threats and vulnerabilities, is scored on a likelihood and impact matrix including its effect on confidentiality, integrity and availability, and is given controls, a mitigation plan and an acceptance decision. Owners and due dates are set, reminders go out before reviews fall due, risks move through a configurable workflow, and every change is logged.

    Reminders before it falls due

What it covers

  • Likelihood and impact matrix
  • Threats, vulnerabilities and controls per risk
  • Mitigation plans and acceptance decisions
  • Owners, due dates and reminders
  • Audit trail and exports
Why it is hard to do well

A risk register only helps if someone reviews it

A risk register that stays current

Many risk registers are written once for an audit and not opened again. Flow Risk makes the register part of how the facility is managed.

Scored the same way every time

Each risk is scored on a likelihood and impact matrix, including its effect on confidentiality, integrity and availability, with its threats, vulnerabilities and existing controls recorded.

Owned and followed up

Every risk has an owner, a mitigation plan and a due date. Flow reminds owners before reviews fall due, and risks move through a workflow the facility configures, with escalation when they need attention.

Evidence for governance

Every change is logged, and the register exports for committee papers and audits.
