Why BConView?
Oversights and Expectations

BCP is essential to improve a healthcare institute’s ability to maintain its delivery of care to patients during critical incidents affecting the institute. Planning for business continuity has proven to be increasingly challenging as the healthcare industry employs more digital technology to improve the quality of care. All signs for the future point to even more reliance on digital data.

 

Unique industry challenges:

Unlike other industries which, during time of disaster, can relocate operations to an alternate facility, Healthcare providers need to maintain operations, if not increase their capacity. The driver for BCP are as follows:

  • Increasing reliance on digital data

  • Outsourcing of critical business functions e.g. medical coding

  • Addressing continuity of all essential function beyond HIPAA compliance

  • Growing use of telehealth and telemedicine, hence increasing dependencies on telecommunication technologies and electronic

  • Decentralized Systems  

  • There is no “one-size-fits-all BCP solution

The objectives of BConView is that the business continuity planning process involves the recovery, resumption, and maintenance of the entire business, not just the technology component. While the restoration of IT systems and electronic data is important, recovery of these systems and data will not always be enough to restore business operations. It really emphasis on development of enterprise wide BCP and the prioritization of business objectives and critical operations that are essential for recovery. This framework should include a plan for short-term and long-term recovery operations. It places significant emphasis on:

  • Collaboration, coordination and planning

  • Communications and information exchange

  • Disaster recovery and health systems

  • Education and training
