3. A hospital has a very good record of treating and discharging its patients quickly, but it is very dependent upon its IT systems to make sure that this record is maintained. In recent
years there have not been any IT system breakdowns that have adversely affected patient
care. The hospital has compiled a risk map and identified the risk of a breakdown in its IT
systems as being of high impact, but low probability.
Identify two appropriate responses to this risk by the hospital.
A. Make sure that adequate insurance is in place
B. Outsource its IT function
C. Close the departments that would be the most severely affected by any IT breakdown
D. Keep the situation under review
E. Accept the risk and continue to function as normal
