As a Security Officer, I found the HIPAA/HITECH Risk Assessment Toolkit from EHR 2.0 very useful to initiate the thinking and get the project moving, where it had been stalling for some time. I was impressed with how well it was organized with easy to follow instructions to complete the various steps. Having an organized launching point was critical to start and maintain a pace to see it through to completion. I also found it thorough from the Security perspective."
