Presented in a large, tabbed, three-ring binder, this guide is intended to serve as textbook, workbook, resource manual, and archive for records. The first five chapters explain concepts using plenty of examples in the interest of practicality; and the author urges that they not be skipped so that the tasks that follow are understood. The idea is that readers will fully understand the process and be able to use that understanding to better manage their organizations. The risk mitigation process is explained and supported step-by-step with tools for various kinds of audits and for management of conflicts between state and federal regulations. For use when it comes time to delegate some of the tasks, the included CD-ROM contains training presentations on basic ideas of risk management for office staff, the structure of the book, use of the statements worksheets, and use of the issues worksheets; it also includes resource materials from the likes of OSHA and HIPAA.
