ABSTRACT
Disasters cause a major disruption to normal operations. Hospital information systems are often well-prepared for events such as fires or natural disasters. This type of disaster planning focuses on redundancy and manual workarounds. The SARS-CoV-2/COVID pandemic represented a new type of disaster for our radiology informatics team. In this pandemic, the information systems continued to work but the employees, and the computers that they worked with, had to be distanced. The purpose of this manuscript is to discuss the four phases of the disaster planning process mitigation, planning, response, and recovery. We will illustrate the process with the example of how our radiology informatics team responded to the SARS-CoV-2/COVID pandemic.
