Question

example of Communication Planning and Command Center organization, including the management of patient records for a contingency plan for healthcare?

Answer 1

• Contingency:
• An event that is possible but uncertain in terms of its occurrence or that is likely to happen as an adjunct to other events. Contingencies interrupt normal business activities. In some cases the disruption is minor, while in other situations the disruption can be catastrophic.

• • Contingency planning:
• The process of planning for response, recovery and resumption activities for the infrastructure, critical processes, and other elements of an organization based upon encountering different contingencies.

• • Crisis and incident management: The process of managing events of a crisis to a condition of stability and ultimate recovery. This is proactively accomplished by local, regional, corporate, and executive incident management response teams working hand in hand to successfully manage the incident. The “step up” or “step down” process is a key element of the incident response process. Let us take, for example, local flooding in a foreign country where the infrastructure cannot handle large amounts of rain from a typhoon. When conditions deteriorate “locally,” one would “step up”, and C3 the incident from the “regional” level. However, this does not preclude the local, regional, corporate, and executive incident management teams from activing simultaneously.
