Assessing the Business Continuity of a healthcare organization through a data-gathering modality approach

Most business continuity planning methods help provide adequate precautions in case of a crisis situation to keep the organization’s main activities running uninterruptedly in the moment of the crisis. One way to accurately improve the rules that arise from business continuity planning (BCP) would be to (i) proceed with the data multidimensions and multi-sources (physical, societal, financial, etc.) through a purpose-driven Information System (IS), (ii) build customized integral robustness indicators and (iii) use them to qualify the business continuity strategy. On this basis, this work’s findings make firms, particularly healthcare organizations, less sensitive to catastrophes by designing an interactive dashboard that pilots the business continuity indicators and highlights decisive components and resources.
