Implementing BCM in the Healthcare Industry: Singapore Experience
Steve Sobak BCCE
Chief Executive Officer for the Singapore Cord Blood Bank
Singapore
“Planning a BCM/BCP is a series of strategic plans to be implemented to mitigate or minimize any condition that could potentially close or create a major disruption in service provision. Individual departments may have specific contingency plans in response to certain actions occurring, but it may not be “plugged-in” to an organization wide plan to prepare a response to a disruptive event that potentially threatens operation, or the survival of the organisation. Steve Sobak provides insight into how the Singapore healthcare industry embraces BCM in a holistic manner.”
