Downtime Readiness Assessment
A fast, structured way to understand how your organization would perform during a prolonged clinical IT outage.
Why this assessment exists
Most hospitals have downtime plans.
Very few know whether those plans hold when systems stay down for days.
Prolonged outages stress clinical operations differently than brief disruptions.
They expose gaps in workflows, staffing assumptions, communication, supplies, and leadership decision-making that don’t appear on paper.
This assessment is designed to surface those gaps before a real event forces decisions under pressure.
What we evaluate:
You’ll answer questions across five areas that consistently determine whether hospitals can sustain safe care during multi-day outages:
-
Clinical workflows under manual conditions
-
Activation criteria and escalation decision-making
-
Downtime procedures and job aids
-
Tools, forms, and supply readiness
-
Training, testing, and validation
Each section is grounded in real healthcare outage scenarios and reflects what we see break most often in practice.
What you’ll receive when you finish
Once you complete the assessment, you’ll receive:
-
A readiness score reflecting your ability to sustain clinical operations during prolonged downtime
-
A high-level interpretation of what that score means in real-world conditions
-
Visibility into where risk concentrates first if systems remain unavailable
-
Clear signals on where to focus next, whether internally or with support
This is not a benchmark for benchmarking’s sake.
It’s a directional tool to support informed planning and prioritization.
