Resource-centric business continuity and resiliency planning

This paper presents a new framework for simple design and evaluation of business continuity and resilience plan (BCP) for medical institutions based on the categories of resources required for business continuity and the three phases of emergency response: preparedness, response, and recovery. Considering home-visit nursing stations as a use case study, this work also presents the manner in which the proposed framework can be used for the design and evaluation of BCPs.
