Description: Practices face myriad potential disruptions to their operations — everything from severe weather (such as tornadoes and flooding) to the loss of key personnel or systems and even a pandemic can alter the course of business, if not halt it altogether. This session will offer detailed steps you can take to anticipate and prepare for these potential events to ensure your practice survives. The effective practice executive has not only considered the issues and impact but has also prepared a written response plan. We will address the essential elements of preparing for a disaster, including a checklist as a guide in developing your own plan.
Learning Objectives:
Distinguish what constitutes a disaster and the rationale for preparedness
Examine the phases of preparedness, as well as how to conduct a risk analysis and how to utilize a tabletop exercise
Organize the components of a business continuity plan and factors to consider in development and implementation
