Course Overview
Who knew the building foundation would crumble in a rainstorm and short out the practice’s entire telecomm system? Who knew three hurricanes would cross the center of Florida within a month, leaving the practice without power or running water for weeks?
These practices learned a valuable lesson from these experiences: make sure your disaster plan is up to date and that staff understand how to follow it. A recent MGMA survey found that only 57% of medical practices have emergency plans. Whether you need to develop a plan or update one that’s collecting dust. This session delivers the strategies and resources you need to make sure you don’t get caught without a plan when disaster strikes.
As a result of attending this session, attendees will be able to:
Create an effective disaster plan and disaster drill to reduce damage and property loss
Implement ongoing communication strategies between staff and patients
Determine whether the practice’s electronic data is ‘disaster ready’
Establish effective back-up plans
Evaluate insurance policies to identify coverage rules
Who Should Attend?
Physicians, Practice managers and administrators
