Abstract

Futures Group has been mandated by Ministry of Health (MoH) to rollout IQCare Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Patient Management and Monitoring System in health facilities in Kenya. Ideally the EMR should be available for use at the facilities with no or minimal disruption in terms of system failure, unavailability or data loss. This can only be achieved by having a disaster management and business continuity plan in every facility where EMR has been deployed.
