Certain fields on the risk forms can be renamed or have their visibility altered, enabling you to customise what information is captured when logging a risk and how that information is captured. Scroll down to see which fields can be customised
Customisable Fields
Below is a list of fields on the Risk Register which can be customised.
Key:
Optional - this means the field can be activated or deactivated by Radar Healthcare.

Rename - this means the name of the question can be retitled to suit your requirements.

Customising the Risk Matrix and Risk Categories
The Risk Matrix
- The Risk Matrix can be adapted by yourselves at any time. You do not need Radar Healthcare to adapt this.
- It is a single Risk Matrix which is used across the Risk module and the Event module.
- You are able to reword the risk matrix descriptions and the descriptions for the 1 to 5 scores.
Risk Categories
- Risk are added to categories which you can use to filter and report on.
- You can create and amend your own Risk Categories, without Radar Healthcare involvement.
Populating the Drop-down Lists
- New custom lists have been created for these fields:
- Level of risk
- Objectives
- Monitoring Committee
- Overall Assurance
- These lists can be updated in the Administration area of Radar Healthcare. Go to Administration > Event and Risk > Custom Lists. Use the Action option to add your Organisation’s relevant options. For more information on editing custom lists please see our user guide.
