Plan, Prepare, Perform

Overview
Today’s complex health care environment requires that emergency planning go beyond the traditional approach to preparedness.  Clinical and Business Continuity planning identifies key clinical and business functions and the strategies required to recover them with minimal disruption to operations.  This course provides an in-depth presentation of key components to implement a Continuity of Operations program and how each enables an effective, long term approach to mitigating the risk of clinical and business interruption.

This course can be customized to meet the needs of the client and the intended audience (e.g., hospitals, clinics, public health departments, long term care, or a combination of all types of providers).

 

This course can be conducted in person (preferred), or by webinar. 
Audience
Personnel that have an active role in directing or conducting emergency management planning and are implementing or updating a business continuity program, including hospitals, clinics, long term care facilities, critical access hospitals, public health agencies, home health agencies, rural health clinics and FQHCs, and emergency medical services agencies.

The ideal, in-person course is eight (8 hours in length); however, the course can be customized for time as needed by the client or broken into 2-hour modules.
