Improve the resilience of your healthcare organization with the:

Healthcare Continuity Assurance Model (HCAM)

Hospitals face unprecedented challenges in maintaining operations during disruptions.
 
The Healthcare Continuity Assurance Model (HCAM) is a tailored approach, designed to help healthcare organizations rapidly build resilience across critical clinical and operational systems. HCAM ensures seamless patient care and robust operational continuity, no matter the threat.

What is HCAM?

Traditional Continuity vs. HCAM
​

Traditional continuity models often emphasize IT recovery without addressing clinical functions or workflow integration.

 

HCAM goes deeper.

​

Stone Risk designed this strategic model for business continuity specifically for healthcare environments, ensuring that patient care workflows are central, and system dependencies are fully understood and prepared for.

The Benefits of HCAM

01

Rapid Implementation for Immediate Impact

HCAM streamlines continuity planning by focusing on essential workflows and system dependencies, reducing the time needed for lengthy assessments. This allows healthcare organizations to implement actionable improvements quickly, ensuring immediate impact and enhanced preparedness.

02

Healthcare-Centric

03

Tailored specifically for healthcare, HCAM prioritizes patient care, addressing the unique challenges of healthcare systems. It ensures critical services and systems are prepared for disruptions, safeguarding both operational efficiency and clinical functions.

Data-Driven Decision Making

HCAM’s Resilience Scores provide leadership with actionable insights, offering a clear, measurable understanding of where improvements are needed. This data empowers informed decision-making, allowing for efficient resource allocation to bolster resilience.
