BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING AND HIPAA:
BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT IN THE HEALTH CARE
ENVIRONMENT
By James C. Barnes
Edited by Deborah Barnes, Philip Jan Rothstein, FBCI
ENDORSED BY THE BUSINESS CONTINUITY INSTITUTE (BCI) AND THE
DISASTER
RECOVERY INSTITUTE INTERNATIONAL (DRII).
This book examines business continuity planning as adapted to encompass the
requirements of The Health Care Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or
HIPAA. We
examine the typical business continuity planning model and highlight how the
special
requirements of HIPAA have shifted the emphasis. The layout of this book was
designed to
afford assistance, hints, and templates to the person charged with the task of
implementing
business continuity planning into a healthcare organization.
You will notice that this book does not address Emergency Management (building
evacuations and other immediate response procedures) because this is outside
the scope of
the HIPAA regulations.
Upon reading and re-reading the HIPAA regulations and the “Comments and
Responses” in
the federal register, it becomes quite evident that the “Contingency Plan” (read
Business
Continuity Plan) requirements were written by those looking to protect health
information
data. That being said, many of the examples that I use in this book relate to
information
technology and disaster recovery (recovery of computer capabili-ties). What is also
important, and that I try to emphasize throughout the book, is that recovering the
com-puter
systems of a health care organization will not necessarily get it operational again
after a
disaster; a multitude of other production components must be present in order to
deliver
services and products to customers/patients. Where appropriate, I have identified
procedures and strategies that are unique to healthcare provider organizations. If
not so
indicated, it can be assumed that I am referring to healthcare organizations in
general.
