Business Continuity Management Plan
Instructions
The Business Continuity Management Plan (BCP) helps you plan how your health facility will operate
following a “disaster” or disruptive event (such as fire, flood, power disruptions, information system failure,
etc.). BCP involves establishing business continuity and disaster recovery plans for services, clients, and staff.
A BCP plan is needed to support the health facility’s response to events that can happen in any department of
your organization. As such, the scope of a BCP plan is considerably broader than a single eHealth project, such
as Panorama. Many communities may already have a plan in place as part of their Emergency Preparedness
Plan (EPP).
This tool outlines the privacy and security-related elements of a Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery Plan.
Many communities will know this as an Emergency preparedness Plan. This tool is not a Business Continuity /
Disaster Recovery Policy but provides a checklist of key information required to create or update your BCP.
