_______ plan.

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

To protect health information from catastrophes such as fire, flooding, bomb threats, and theft, Joint Commission-accredited facilities are required to maintain a disaster plan. This type of plan ensures that there are predefined procedures and protocols to secure and protect critical health information from various unexpected and potentially devastating events. A budget, case management, or patient care plan would not suffice in addressing the specific needs for disaster recovery and preparedness.
