MAINTENANCE
Most business continuity plans that are written are not maintained. Within a year or less, the plan becomes useless because staff has changed, vendors are different, and the resources required to get product out the door have evolved. The real shame is that in three to five years, the healthcare organization will again have to go through the entire process of creating a new plan.By maintaining the plan on a regular basis, the healthcare organization will avoid the time required to create a plan from scratch and it will be prepared whenever a disaster strikes.The most efficient method of maintaining the plan is to present parts of the plan to those who assisted in creating the plan initially. Team members should be verified, procedures and tasks re-examined by team members, and lists (staff, vendors, customers) updated. Any appendices such as communications schematics and computer equipment lists should be updated. Even in very large healthcare organizations, the maintenance of the plan will require a week or two of effort a year.Based on what you have learned in chapter 6:Develop a test scope and objectives.Read "Disaster Recovery Testing" by Philip Jan Rothstein.Conduct a test of a component of the business continuity plan.Meet with management to schedule the first maintenance iteration of the plan.
