| Talk to the IT team about emergency planning steps |
| As part of disaster planning, particularly the 96-hour provision under EC.4.12, you need to plan for Internet communication and network server failures.
Interfacing with your hospital's information technology (IT) team will help you get a grip on how well the computer system will stand during a disaster, enabling communications, access to medical records, and even security clearance. Remember, EC.4.12 requires hospitals to evaluate their ability to remain in operation if the community can't support them for at least 96 hours. |
