Episode 73: Disaster Strikes….Are You Prepared? Business Continuity Planning for Medical Groups

Medical Money Matters with Jill Arena

Today, we’re diving into an essential topic that every medical practice owner and administrator should prioritize: Business Continuity Planning, or BCP. In the world of healthcare, where patient care and safety are paramount, being prepared for the unexpected is not just prudent—it’s critical. Whether it's a natural disaster, a cyber-attack, or another unforeseen event, having a robust BCP can be the difference between navigating a crisis smoothly or facing significant disruptions. Our goal today is to break down BCP into its core components, and highlight some of the areas that are often overlooked but crucial for maintaining continuous operations and excellent patient care.

First, let’s define Business Continuity Planning. In the healthcare setting, BCP is a proactive planning process that ensures critical services or products are delivered during a disruption. For a medical practice, this means ensuring that patient care continues seamlessly, regardless of external or internal disturbances.
