For this assessment, you will create a 4–6-page paper discussing your mitigation plan for the recommended technology that you chose for the previous assessments. You will start your paper with an introduction providing a summary of the patient safety concerns and a summary of the previously recommended technology. Then, you will use your SAFER Guides findings and resources to create a risk mitigation plan.
Overall, your assessment will be assessed based on the following criteria and should be presented in the order listed:

Add the table in this template as a properly formatted APA appendix at the end of your assessment.
- In the body of the paper, include a narrative about the content in the table.

- What measures are in place for cyber security?
- Justify proposed actions to address identified risks.
- Make sure you support your justification with cited support from scholarly peer-reviewed literature or evidence-based practice.
- Identify change management strategies that could help others implement the proposed actions in their practice.
