Important Note:
Risk analysis templates may serve as a starting point for users who would like to adapt them to their own clinical processes without performing a risk analysis from scratch.
All data in templates must be carefully reviewed, adapted and integrated in order to generate a valid risk analysis of a clinical process.
A template shall not be used as a ready-made risk analysis for a clinical process.
