Contingency planning, also referred to as Business Continuity Planning (BCP), is about a coordinated strategy that involves plans, procedures and technical measures to enable the recovery of systems, operations, and data after a disruption. Yet, most healthcare organizations either do not have plans or if they do the plans are out of date or not tested.
Why should security professionals and officers care about contingency planning? Contingency Plan is a HIPAA Security Rule standard that must be met. Some industry experts say that among organizations that suffer significant, sustained disasters, 20% are completely out of business within 24 months. Contingency plans address the “availability” security principle. The availability principle addresses threats related to business disruption – so that authorized individuals such as physicians and nurses have access to vital systems and information when required.
