Incident Response & Operations
Emergency Mode Operation Plan
Procedures to keep critical ePHI processes running during an emergency.
An Emergency Mode Operation Plan is a required element of HIPAA's contingency plan: procedures that enable an organization to continue critical business processes and protect the security of ePHI while operating in emergency mode.
Where a disaster recovery plan focuses on restoring systems afterward, the emergency mode operation plan is about keeping essential functions safely running during the disruption.
