healthcare resilience

The aim of this proof of concept is to explore how to digitise scenarios that are important to hospitals for managing safety and maintaining operations. The project covers four scenarios:

1. Hospital information system outage

2. Power outage

3. Active shooter

4. Attack involving unidentified CBRN agents

Following the signing of non-disclosure agreements and contracts with participating hospitals, the project team reviews each hospital’s current procedures with its designated staff. Tabletop exercises are then conducted where agreed, and response times are measured.

The team proposes a digital process based on these findings. Once approved by the hospital, the process is digitised, tested and handed over for review. Designated hospital staff test it, provide feedback and request changes. After revisions and further testing, it is prepared for a tabletop exercise and, where appropriate, additional verification by the hospital.

Each hospital prepares a report based on its testing and assessment. An independent audit report on the project is also produced and evaluated. The proof of concept is expected to be completed by the end of February 2027.
