A 5-Step Action Plan for Achieving Clinical Care Resilience
In the event of an outage, healthcare organizations must be able to maintain patient care while working to restore operations.
In the event of a cyberattack, natural disaster or other outage event, it’s critical that healthcare organizations are able to maintain care delivery — especially because diversion isn’t always an option. Clinical care resilience ensures that if technology fails, the organization can go back to the basics to provide care.
Clinical care resilience goes beyond just having a plan in place. It requires proper assessment of the organization’s downtime procedures, remediation and simulations. Healthcare organizations need to understand what clinical care resilience is, why it’s important and how to implement a strategy that works to navigate outages successfully without having a negative impact on patient outcomes.

Video Highlights:
- Growing cyberattacks and reliance on Software as a Service applications make healthcare organizations susceptible to downtime events.
- Having a proper clinical care resilience plan in place ensures IT teams and clinical staff have the muscle memory in place to continue to deliver patient care in the event of technology loss.
- All shifts must be trained on the clinical care resilience strategy through real-world simulations.
