The Pre-Assessment is a collection of six webforms that must be completed to create a HITRUST validated assessment or readiness assessment. The Pre-Assessment is initially completed during the Answering Pre-Assessment phase, which is the first phase of the validated assessment and readiness assessment workflows. The key requirements in this phase include the following:
6.1.1 The Pre-Assessment webforms must be completed by the Assessed Entity or its designee.
6.1.2 When completing a readiness assessment, the Pre-Assessment webforms can be edited until the assessment is submitted to HITRUST and it enters the Performing Check-in phase.
6.1.3 When completing a validated assessment, the Pre-Assessment webforms can be edited until an assessment domain is submitted to the External Assessor for review.
6.1.4 The External Assessor must review and approve the contents of each Pre-Assessment webform that was completed by the Assessed Entity for a validated assessment.
6.1.5 Any Pre-Assessment webforms completed by the External Assessor (only allowable for i1 and e1 assessments) will be approved automatically.
6.1.6 If any Pre-Assessment webforms are not approved by the External Assessor, the External Assessor is prompted to send it back for the Assessed Entity to update.
