BOP Program Statement 6090.04 § 6
MANAGEMENT OF INTERRUPTIONS TO INFORMATION PROCESSES
Regardless of whether a facility uses a paper-based system or electronic, a plan to address the
process for information continuity should be in place. The goal of the information continuity
process is to return the Health Services unit to normal operations as soon as possible with minimal
downtime and no data loss. The Health Services Administrator (HSA) and Clinical Direc tor
(CD), in consultation with their Associate Warden (AW) and Captain, will create an Institution
Supplement that includes: the various types of interruptions and disasters that might impair the
operation of the facility; scheduled and unscheduled interruptions of electronic health information
systems; and a list of the Health Services Department’s core information processes (providing
access to records and the ability to document urgent and chronic care, medication administration,
etc.). The Institution Supplement will be tested annually in conjunction with an institution mock
drill (Article 3 may apply).
Please see Appendix B for Institution Supplement template.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
