Framework for health services resilience
This Publicly Available Specification (PAS) recommends techniques for improving and maintaining resilience for NHS-funded organizations that build on the activities that are already in progress within the organization.
In particular, it:
provides a generic framework for a resilience programme, incorporating the principles of integrated emergency management (IEM) (see Clause 3);
promotes a consistent approach to, and understanding of, resilience;
defines and demonstrates the importance of resilience in the context of health;
provides tangible and practical methods for applying resilience principles to all NHS-funded organizations;
identifies the BCM processes and the statutory and policy framework that enable health economies to respond to, and recover from, disruptions;
highlights the relationship between the commissioning and the provision of healthcare services in the context of resilience;
provides guidance for the implementation of resilience.
NOTE 1 Although this PAS is intended primarily for NHS-funded organizations, its recommendations and guidance are also applicable to independent organizations.
NOTE 2 Throughout this document cross-reference is made between numbered sections. In line with usual standards practice, these sections are referred to as clauses.
NOTE 3 A glossary of the terms used in this document is provided at the back of the PAS. The first occurrence of each term in the text is highlighted in bold.
