Planning Status

The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) region accounts for around half of all global GDP. Since its supply chains are closely intertwined, a single disaster could adversely affect economic activities in the entire region. APEC therefore needs to strengthen the private sector’s capacity for disaster preparedness and recovery by promoting Business Continuity Planning (BCP) among APEC member economies. This report is summarizes findings from a 2011 regional survey conducted to understand the status of BCP adoption and the level of BCP awareness in the private sector among APEC economies. Outcomes of this survey will be used to determine the next appropriate steps for enhancing and promoting private sector resilience.

The Impact

As hospitals incorporate information technology (IT), their operations become increasingly vulnerable to technological breakdowns and attacks. Proper emergency management and business continuity planning require an approach to identify, mitigate, and work through IT downtime. Hospitals can prepare for these disasters by reviewing case studies. This case study details the disruption of computer operations at Mount Sinai Medical Center (MSMC), an urban academic teaching hospital. The events, and MSMC’s response, are narrated and the impact on hospital operations is analyzed. MSMC’s disaster management strategy prevented computer failure from compromising patient care, although walkouts and time-to-disposition in the emergency department (ED) notably increased. This incident highlights the importance of disaster preparedness and mitigation. It also demonstrates the value of using operational data to evaluate hospital responses to disasters. Quantifying normal hospital functions, just as with a patient’s vital signs, may help quantitatively evaluate and improve disaster management and business continuity planning.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Masih banyak orang di bidang TI maupun manajemen (baik akademisi ataupun profesional, terutama di Indonesia) yang masih belum mengenal tentang disaster recovery planning atau seringkali disingkat sebagai DRP. Mendengar saja pun masih banyak yang mengernyitkan dahi, “apakah itu termasuk ilmu baru ?”, “siapa yang mencetuskan ?”,”apa efeknya bagi lembaga atau perusahaan ?” dan masih banyak pertanyaan lain yang menggelayut di benak para profesional maupun akademisi.DRP sendiri yang nantinya akan menjadi sebuah rangkaian dari business continuity planning atau BCP, sesungguhnya bukan hal baru di bidang TI maupun bidang manajemen. Tetapi meski bukan suatu hal yang baru, DRP sendiri seringkali menjadi “anak tiri” dalam sebuah implementasi sistem informasi di sebuah institusi.
