The Health Care of Resilience

December 22 2009   No Commented

The business of health care and those in risk management refer to resilience as a process or procedure for handling emergencies. It’s a big part of disaster preparedness which covers what should be done before, during and after a disaster. Rather it be man-made or a natural disaster, businesses can’t afford to be down and non-operational. In health care, the stakes are even higher. Human life is on the line.

 

With resilience being so important in the business world, why isn’t more focus applied to community issues or personal challenges that seem to be forever present? How adaptive are these best practices? What if resilience could be increased through awareness? If individuals used resilience as a tool and it was available to all, maybe, just maybe more people would be better equipped when the expected or unforeseen complexity stands before them. Sometimes a little reminder is needed – You are Resilient!

 

What’s your take on this? How can individuals prepare for their own resiliency plan? Let me hear from you!
