- [ ] Predetermined Change Control Plan filed (for adaptive algorithms)
- [ ] Model bias testing across demographic groups documented
- [ ] Clinical validation study design reviewed
- [ ] Transparency requirements met (explainability for clinical decisions)
- [ ] Post-market surveillance plan in place

- [ ] Patient access API availability
- [ ] Payer-to-payer data exchange readiness

## Risk Scoring

Rate each domain 1-5:
| Score | Meaning | Action |
|-------|---------|--------|
| 1 | Critical gaps — active violation risk | Immediate remediation (30 days) |
| 2 | Major gaps — regulatory exposure | Priority remediation (60 days) |
| 3 | Moderate gaps — common in industry | Scheduled remediation (90 days) |
| 4 | Minor gaps — above average | Continuous improvement |
| 5 | Compliant — audit-ready | Maintain and monitor |

## Cost of Non-Compliance (2026 Benchmarks)

| Violation Type | Cost Range | Example |
|----------------|-----------|---------|
| HIPAA Tier 1 (unknowing) | $100-$50K per violation | Staff accesses wrong record |
| HIPAA Tier 4 (willful neglect, uncorrected) | $50K per violation, max $1.5M/yr | No risk analysis for 3+ years |
| Average healthcare data breach | $10.93M (IBM 2025) | Full breach lifecycle |
| FDA warning letter (CFR Part 11) | $500K-$5M remediation | Inadequate audit trails |
| State AG action (HITECH) | $25K-$250K per state | Multi-state breach notification failure |
| OCR Resolution Agreement | $1M-$16M | Systemic compliance failures |
