Discussion 1 - A terror attack has disabled the internet and all communications to and from U.S. health systems. Discuss how to design and test a disaster recovery plan that includes data safety, storage, and recovery that would have continued the delivery of informatics services during a terror attack. Include the role of an informatics leader and change agent from an ethical-legal point of view and evaluate how you would act during a time of scarce resources that vulnerable populations rely on during a health crisis.
Discussion 2 - Research communication and information technology change models that can support security policies, procedures, and recovery plans for data and service delivery.
Combine several models and convince colleagues that this combined model is the best one to keep communication systems and information operating during a disaster.
Debate why each other's model would work with examples.
