3.3 BCP and New Normal Medical Services Models: Experiences from hospitals
MOPH and ADPC collaborated to design and conduct online interviews with hospitals to gain insights on the implementation of BCPs for healthcare facilities and new normal medical service models. Six hospitals in Thailand were selected to participate in the interviews based on their level of engagement with BCP activities and improvements. Interviews were conducted between January–February 2021, six months after launching the various initiatives (see Methodology for further information).
Based on the WHO Rapid hospital readiness

on the following topic areas: Leadership and
Incident Management System; coordination

information management;riskcommunication

finance and business continuity; human
