    Study Notes

    Business Continuity Planning Overview

    • Business continuity planning (BCP) and disaster recovery planning (DRP) serve different roles; DRP is part of a broader BCM program.
    • BCP involves strategic preparation to maintain business operations during disruptions, aiming for an acceptable level of continuity.
    • Essential records protection and recovery form critical components of a business continuity plan, with an essential records schedule guiding preparations.

    Standards for Business Continuity Management

    • ISO/IEC 27031:2011 outlines processes to achieve ICT readiness for business continuity.
    • Ongoing development of ISO/IEC DIS 27031 aims to update guidelines for cybersecurity in relation to business continuity.
    • ISO 22301:2019 offers a framework for organizations to establish and improve systems for managing business disruptions.
    • ISO 22313:2020 provides application recommendations for the requirements established in ISO 22301.
    • ISO/TS 22318:2021 extends business continuity principles to supply chain management, focusing on supplier relationship continuity.

    BCM Lifecycle Phases

    • The BCM lifecycle includes:
      • Analysis: Conducting business impact analysis (BIA) to prioritize functions and assess disruption impacts.
      • Solution Design: Developing recovery strategies and internal communication plans during incidents.
      • Development and Implementation: Crafting and executing incident management plans that align with recovery objectives.
      • Exercise, Maintenance, and Review: Validating plans through exercises, coordinating with external agencies, and ensuring compliance.

    NFPA 1600 Contributions

    • NFPA 1600: Standard on Continuity, Emergency, and Crisis Management emphasizes crisis preparedness against various disaster types.
    • It calls for records management programs that cover classification, retention, and access control along with crisis management capabilities.

    Impact of Disasters on Healthcare Records

    • Medical records are essential for effective healthcare; disasters can destroy or render them inaccessible, as seen after Hurricane Katrina.
    • Hurricane Katrina highlighted the inadequacy of electronic medical record (EMR) use, with only 25% of physicians utilizing EMRs at the time.
    • Post-2005, advancements included the launch of KatrinaHealth.org to facilitate sharing prescription information of evacuees among healthcare providers.
    • By 2017, around 75% of healthcare providers recorded patients electronically, but access barriers persisted during disasters.

    Innovations in Health Information Access

    • Pilot project PULSE (Patient Unified Lookup System for Emergencies) allows tailored access to health information during emergencies.
    • Currently, PULSE is utilized only by a few states, dependent on funding and technological interoperability among healthcare systems.

    Key Roles and Responsibilities

    • Records managers are essential in protecting critical records and ensuring recovery after disasters, sustaining organizational survival.
    • Disaster planning should involve a multidisciplinary committee supported by upper management, particularly with IT department participation.
    • Collaborative planning efforts must focus on risk mitigation and recovery to safeguard essential records in both physical and digital formats.

    Conclusion on Effective Disaster Preparedness

    • Development of comprehensive disaster recovery and business continuity plans is vital for mitigating disaster impacts.
    • Backup as a Service (BaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) provide solutions for data protection and operational continuity.
    • Effective incident response requires systematic approaches, including activation of plans, assessment, and recovery processes.
    • Regular evaluation of responses enhances future preparedness, necessitating resource investment and collective efforts within organizations.
