What is the purpose of being a member of an organization called Healthcare Financial Management Association as a pre-health professional? How would a 'dashboard' be used in a healthcare facility to track data, usage, and patterns to improve processes? What were the three (3) elements required to be in place prior to a disaster? The article author indicated that the first five phone calls to make when a disaster strike includes: 1) community partners, 2) attorneys and accountants, 3) vendors, 4) the bank, and 5) staff; therefore why is it important to contact these five units each in a disaster specifically? What was mentioned in the article as 'making disaster your business' in a paragraph?

We will answer the third question, since the exact question to be answered is not specified.

Question: What were the three (3) elements required to be in place prior to a disaster?

Answer:

Having the following three elements in place prior to a disaster can mean the difference between a healthcare organization’s weathering a disaster or closing its doors, according to several healthcare leaders who have experience helping their organizations through major events:

1. A business continuity plan in writing that has a solid budget in place
2. A good documentation process to help the organization collect insurance payments and assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
3. Formal, written, collaborative partnerships with community agencies and other finance leaders at local healthcare organizations
