Healthcare Risk and Resilience Best Practices

Featured Image

The healthcare industry is resilient in the midst of an ever-changing world–but resilience isn’t always easy. There are a lot of things to focus on, a lot of changes to weather, and a lot of new opportunities that you’d love to take advantage of (as long as they don’t make things harder instead of easier). What does resilience in healthcare look like, and how can you achieve it?

Manage Risks, Boost Benefits

Resilience really comes down to two things: risk management, and the ability to recognize beneficial opportunities combined with the confidence to pursue those opportunities. If you want to be able to roll with the punches and go with the flow, then you need to be flexible but strong, wise but receptive to new information–and that means that every part of your company, from the IT department to the print environment, needs to be equipped with the right tools and the right structure to advance and grow rather than become obsolete.

How can you do that in your company? Here’s a look at the three stages of becoming resilient.

Stage 1: Problem-solving.

The first stage is fragile. Here, you’re not yet resilient, but you’re open to change, able to identify errors and work to avoid them. Managed IT and print services are a huge help at this stage, allowing you not only to analyze where you could improve but implement plans to make it happen–and that’s how you get to the next stage.

Stage 2: Focusing on improvement.

When you’re in the second stage, you’re no longer narrowly focused on errors. Now you’re streamlining and improving processes throughout your company, meaning that you’ll be better equipped to adapt–but you’re still a little hyper-aware of errors.

Stage 3: Success stories.

Finally, once you are confident focusing completely on your success and resting assured that you’re able to handle any problems when they arise, you are in the final stage of resilience. Your printers are happy, your IT is flexible, and you’re prepared to handle whatever the healthcare industry throws at you.
