This presentation to management introduces Business Continuity Planning (BCP) as a proactive process that identifies critical functions and threats, develops plans, and ensures continuity under set circumstances. The importance of BCP for patients, staff, compliance, and risk mitigation is emphasized. Governance by senior management is key for policy establishment, resource allocation, training, testing, and updates. The process involves phases such as planning, testing, and maintenance, with emphasis on treating continuity as an ongoing process and integrating emergency management activities. Maintenance involves updating plans, testing, assigning response teams, and ensuring emergency preparedness.
