4 Section I: General Continuity of Operations Plan Information A. Executive Summary and Introduction The Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) ensures the continuity of essential functions of Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing facilities (facilities) during any emergency or disaster. A comprehensive COOP includes a number of component parts to meet the needs of various users during any unscheduled event. When an emergency or disaster strikes, organizations must have the capability of continuing critical business functions, possibly in an alternate work location under stressful situations. This guideline provides facilities the tools to develop a COOP. It addresses critical COOP elements; 10 component parts are included for completion to give facilities the ability to stay operational during an emergency or disaster. B. Purpose of Continuity of Operations (COOP) Guidelines The purpose of this COOP guideline is to ensure the continuity of essential functions of the organizations during emergencies created by a variety of natural and man-made and natural disasters when normal standard operations become overwhelmed. The recommendations follow Federal and Health Care procedures to identify recovery strategies that are mission essential and time critical to stay operational after an emergency. C. Overview of Continuity of Operations Guidelines This COOP Guideline is to be used by Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Facilities during the planning process of identifying critical areas that need to be addressed during any emergency or disaster. An all-hazards approach is used in this guideline, including a worst case scenario in which the facilities are not usable, most staff is not available, and outside assistance is not immediately available. Plan to resume essential functions to an acceptable level within 12 hours and ensure the facilities or alternate facilities can maintain operations for 30 days with external support. D. Continuity of Operations Planning Recommendations To be successful, COOP planning requires upper management support. The organization s leader sets the tone by authorizing planning to take place and directing senior management to get involved. Developing the COOP program is a dynamic process that involves planning, implementation, and validation. Activities in the development of a COOP plan cannot be explicitly defined, but it is important to remember the PROCESS of planning is invaluable. The process is enhanced by Page 4 - Spring 2014
5 involving all organizational units and levels of staff working in concert. Coordination amongst all functions and organizational levels is important; it implies a willingness to share responsibility and eliminates duplication of efforts. The preparation process includes: 1. Identifying participants from each work group to assist with development of the COOP. 2. Selecting high-level participants who understand the big-picture strategies of the work group. 3. Working as a team to benefit from synergy when including information in the COOP. 4. Developing a schedule to complete the COOP and meet the established deadlines. Section II: COOP Elements For purposes of this guideline, the COOP elements are listed in alphabetical order. Sample formats and examples are provided for your use. In your COOP, prioritize and format the documents as appropriate for your organization. A. Alert Notification B. Alternate Work Facility C. Delegation of Authority D. Devolution of Direction and Control E. Drive-Away Kits F. Human Capitol G. Interoperable Communications H. Mission Essential Functions I. Reconstitution J. Vital Records and Resources Page 5 - Spring 2014
6 A. Alert Notification When the staff receives an emergency alert, activate the call tree and notify employees and outside organizations. Record contact information for employees, agencies, vendors, consultants, and contractors. Consider including utility providers, licensed independent practitioners and volunteers, and other health care organizations. Employee Contact Information Name and Address Phone Number Address Agencies, Vendors, Consultants, and Contractors Contact Information Name, Address, Expertise, and Account Number Contact and Phone Number Address Page 6 - Spring 2014
7 B. Alternate Work Facility Identify a minimum of two locations other than the organization s primary facilities to conduct mission essential functions in the event of COOP activation. This may be a facility that is similar to your facility and allows you to operate under conditions that are not normal. Staff may be split among multiple locations. Refer to Alternate Care Site Plan for relocation of patients/residents. Address Primary Facility Number of Staff/Residents Resources Available / Security and Firewalls in Place Address, Key Contact and Directions Alternate Facility 1 st Choice Number of Staff/Residents Resources Available / Security and Firewalls Available Address & Key Contact and Directions Alternate Facility 2 nd Choice Number of Staff/Residents Resources Available / Security and Firewalls Available Page 7 - Spring 2014
8 C. Delegation of Authority Identify staff with the authority of conduct business transactions. Determine the delegation of authority in accordance with applicable laws, budget allocations, and administrative directives. Delegation of Authority Travel Authorization: Primary Position: If the person is unavailable, his/her duties are assumed by the following positions Leave Authorization: Primary Position: If the person is unavailable, his/her duties are assumed by the following positions: Purchase Requisitions/Spending Authority: Primary Position: If the person is unavailable, his/her duties are assumed by the following positions: Execution of Contractual Agreements: Primary Position: If the person is unavailable, his/her duties are assumed by the following positions: Page 8 - Spring 2014
9 D. Devolution of Direction and Control In the event that none of the staff and the facility is available due to the emergency or disaster, designate who or what health care organization can assume the responsibility of the operation of the organization. Organization and decision making person: Devolution of Direction and Control 1. Example: Sister company s staff from another facility outside the region Page 9 - Spring 2014
10 E. Drive Away Kits/Carts Identify items to include in drive-away kits. The kits may contain software, databases, forms, and equipment. Pre-position drive-away kits at alternate facilities if possible. Drive Away Kits Equipment, Forms, Documents, Supplies, etc. Example: Contact information for family members of the residents Quantity 1 list Page 10 - Spring 2014
11 F. Human Capitol Identify human resource requirements for performing essential functions. Identify staff with key skills or experience and available back-up resources. Human resources planning takes into account: Specialized training or skills that are required to perform the essential function; The minimum number of staff required to perform the essential function; and Availability of other staff with skills transferable to support essential functions. Employee Example: Head of Food Services Human Capitol Mission Essential Function Menu planning of meals for residents and staff Skill to Perform Function Knowledge of nutrition and special dietary restrictions of residents Page 11 - Spring 2014
12 G. Interoperable Communications Interoperable communications include redundant critical communication systems that can be moved to the alternate facility. These systems provide the ability to communicate within the organization and with external emergency responders. Collectively the communication systems provide: Capability commensurate with essential functions; Ability to communicate with essential staff; Ability to communicate with agencies, organizations, patients and other stakeholders; Access to data and systems; Communication systems for use in situations with and without warning; and Ability to support COOP operational requirements The facility will establish and maintain communications between its primary or alternate site and other critical partners using the following methods: Interoperable Communications Equipment Example: Cell Phones Quantity & Location All employees have cell phones they carry with them at all times Page 12 - Spring 2014
13 H. Mission Essential Functions Following an emergency or disaster, it may not be possible to perform all normal dayto-day tasks. Mission Essential Functions are those functions that must continue by each department to enable the organization to provide vital services, maintain the safety and well-being of the clients, staff and community, and sustain its economic base in an emergency. Identify essential resources required to support the mission essential functions, including staff. Mission Essential Functions to be performed in a One Day disruption Staff Required Resources, Equipment, or Systems Required Examples: Finance Manage payroll Payroll Manager SAP or ADP Food Services Prepare meals Food Services Man., 2 Cooks, 1 Server Chart of dietary restrictions Mission Essential Functions to be performed in a One Day to One Week disruption Staff Required Resources, Equipment, or Systems Required Mission Essential Functions to be performed in a One Week to One Month disruption Staff Required Resources, Equipment, or Systems Required Page 13 - Spring 2014
14 I. Orders of Succession Develop Orders of Succession for all key positions held within the organization. Establish the official sequence in which one person assumes the roles and responsibilities of a particular function within the organization in the event the usual leadership is unavailable to perform those duties. List the successors by title in order of precedence. Orders of Succession Primary Position: Example: Director If the person is unavailable, his/her duties are assumed by the following positions: 1. Assistant Director 2. Nursing Supervisor 3. Primary Position: If the person is unavailable, his/her duties are assumed by the following positions: Primary Position: If the person is unavailable, his/her duties are assumed by the following positions: Page 14 - Spring 2014
15 J. Reconstitution Reconstitution is the process by which surviving and or replacement agency staff resumes normal agency operations from the original or replacement primary operating facility. If feasible, restore services at the original facility by making needed repairs, mitigating hazards, restoring utilities, and replacing/repairing damaged equipment. If services cannot be restored at the original facility, identify interim or permanent sites for temporary or permanent restoration of essential services. Health care staff will be kept informed of decisions and progress in restoring services. Staff will also be notified of interim work sites and schedules. 1. Reconstitution Examples: Notify families of the residents, agencies, and vendors of the location and date of the move. 2. Process backlogged transactions. 3. Contact porters or moving vendors. 4. Obtain certificate of occupancy for primary facility if applicable Page 15 - Spring 2014
16 K. Vital Records and Resources List the software, documents, equipment, and other resources that are critical to staying operational in an alternate facility. Application, Form, Document, Record, System, or Equipment Example: Payroll records software ADP Vital Records and Resources Location and Back- Up Location On server in facility Backup at corporate Access (Server, Webbased, etc.) Located on D drive on server Page 16 - Spring 2014

Work-at-home - When an employee carries out their work duties at their residence rather than their official duty station. Page 20 - Spring 2014
21 Overview of ICS The National Incident Management System (NIMS) was developed so responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines can work together better to respond to natural disaster and emergencies. NIMS use a systematic approach to integrate the best existing processes and methods into a unified national framework for incident management. Incident management refers to how incidents are managed, across all homeland security activities, including prevention, protection, and response mitigation and recovery. The Incident Command System (ICS) provides a management hierarchy and procedures for managing temporary incidents of any size. ICS procedures should be pre-established and sanctioned by participating authorities, and staff should be well-trained prior to an emergency. In the event the Skilled Nursing or Assisted Living Facility needs to respond to an emergency, staff should be identified to serve in the various emergency management roles. To best prepare staff to fulfill their assigned duties during an emergency, and to ensure compliance with FEMA, employees should complete National Incident Management System trainings: IS-100* and IS-700* (or its equivalent) within 90 days of hire IS-200* (or its equivalent) within 1 year of hire ICS Refresher Course or deployment every 2 years. * IS 100, IS 700, and IS 200 are all offered online, and sometimes in a classroom setting. Along with the above listed trainings, staff in certain job classifications should take additional FEMA courses as described below. ICS-300** within 2 years of hire (or notification): ICS-300** and ICS-400** within 2 years of hire (or notification): IS-800.B NRF, within 2 years of hire (or notification): ** ICS 300 and ICS 400 are only offered in a classroom format.
