Wearable Medical Sensors worked example

Compliance Documentation with documentation gap severity of 15 score: a worked example in wearable medical sensors

Push documentation gap severity up to 15 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when compliance documentation in wearable medical sensors needs a defensible ranking against other wearable medical sensors risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Documentation gap severity: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Documentation gap occurrence: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Documentation gap detection difficulty: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Compliance documentation risk score = compliance documentation severity score × compliance documentation occurrence score × compliance documentation detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for compliance documentation risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for compliance documentation severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for compliance documentation occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for compliance documentation detection score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where documentation gap severity sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • It multiplies severity, occurrence and detection ratings for a documentation gap into a single compliance risk priority number. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Compliance documentation risk score: 8.15 score (headline result)
