Ensure your healthcare organisation is prepared for any disruption with our comprehensive self-assessment tool for Emergency Communication Plans, aligned with ISO 27799 best practices. Designed for information security leaders, clinical operations managers, and continuity planners, this programme delivers a structured approach to building resilient, compliant, and coordinated emergency communication frameworks.

You’ll gain actionable insights across two core modules, enabling your organisation to proactively safeguard patient care, maintain regulatory compliance, and strengthen cross-functional response capabilities during critical incidents.

  • Define scope and accountability by identifying essential personnel—from clinical teams to IT and facilities—and establishing clear ownership across Information Security, Continuity Management, and Clinical Operations.
  • Align with regulatory requirements under HIPAA, Joint Commission standards, and public health mandates, ensuring communication timelines and content meet legal obligations.
  • Map communication protocols to specific emergency scenarios—including cyberattacks, power failures, natural disasters, and patient safety events—based on risk assessments and functional criticality.
  • Establish escalation triggers for rapid response, such as EHR unavailability or system breaches, ensuring timely activation of communication plans.
  • Conduct threat modelling and business impact analysis to uncover vulnerabilities in communication channels, including unencrypted messaging and VoIP single points of failure.
  • Assess third-party dependencies like cloud-based EHR providers and telephony services, clearly defining vendor responsibilities during outages.
  • Integrate seamlessly with existing Business Continuity and Incident Response plans to eliminate conflicting procedures and ensure organisational alignment.

This self-assessment empowers your team to optimise communication resilience, reduce response delays, and demonstrate due diligence in governance and risk management. Whether you're enhancing an existing framework or building from the ground up, the outcome is a robust, auditable, and operationally effective emergency communication strategy.
