What this check is and is not

It is a structured conversation starter for your leadership team: it shows where a specific tool is likely to help and where it could create risk your organization would carry. It is not an evaluation of any product, a legal or compliance opinion, or a substitute for a governance review. Want help turning your to-do list into a plan? Contact 5Q Health. The first conversation is free.

Version 2.0 · September 27, 2026. Scoring: Yes = 2, Partly / not sure = 1, No = 0, out of 14. A “No” on either responsibility question limits the result to “Not ready yet,” because a tool with no one accountable for its mistakes shifts that risk onto patients and staff.
