About REDE Consulting

REDE Consulting is a specialized Integrated Risk Management (IRM) and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) advisory firm serving healthcare organizations, from hospital systems and payers to digital health providers. We help healthcare leaders translate a dense, sector-specific regulatory landscape, spanning HIPAA, HITECH, CMS Conditions of Participation, and state privacy laws, into practical, auditable programs that protect patients and reduce organizational exposure, while freeing clinical and operational teams to focus on care delivery.


The Challenge

Many health systems operate multiple EHRs across acquired facilities, maintain departmental spreadsheets for local risk tracking, and run disconnected incident reporting systems for different event types. Building a single, reliable view of risk and compliance status across a multi-hospital network is often far harder than leadership expects.


The industry conversation has also shifted: audit readiness is moving from a seasonal, once-a-year scramble to a continuous discipline, with regulators and boards expecting defensible proof of compliance rather than evidence of effort.


The Solutions

Unifying fragmented systems and data doesn't require ripping out every local tool at once. It requires a governance layer that connects existing systems into one consistent view of risk, compliance status, and audit evidence.


  • A single risk and compliance view spanning every facility, not siloed by system or department

  • Standardized incident reporting and escalation across the network

  • Risk-based, continuous internal audit prioritization instead of annual blanket reviews

  • Automated audit evidence collection to reduce last-minute scrambles before inspections


How REDE Consulting Is Helping

  • Designing unified GRC frameworks that connect existing EHRs and local tracking systems

  • Standardizing incident reporting and escalation processes across facilities

  • Building risk-based internal audit programs with automated reporting

  • Supporting continuous audit-readiness programs so evidence is always current, not compiled after the fact
