ABSTRACT While developing its new crisis management plan in 1989, BP America (BPA) modified the incident command system (ICS) for use as the organizational structure of its oil spill response team. This was done to be compatible with the post-Exxon Valdez organization of the Alyeska response team and for certain advantages it would provide for responses in other locations and in other types of crisis situations. The ICS was originally developed for fighting wildfires in California and has since been widely adopted by other fire and emergency services in the U. S. While retaining most of the ICS structure, ?PA developed modifications necessary to fit the unique requirements of oil spill response. The modified ICS was used during a full scale test of ?PA's draft crisis management plan in December 1989, and thus was familiar to ?PA's top executives and other participating response team members. When the American Trader spill occurred in February 1990, BPA's management used the modified ICS organization even though the crisis management plan had not been finalized or widely distributed within the company. Details of the organizational structure evolved as the spill response progressed, in part due to the changing requirements of the response over time and in part because of previously unrecognized issues. This paper describes that evolution and the resulting final structure. Essential differences between the original ICS and BPA's oil spill version of it are highlighted. Despite the unrecognized issues and the unfamiliarity of some team members with the ICS, the organization worked well and can be credited with a share of the success of the American Trader response.

Current Experience

Objective: Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID19) as a pandemic could paralyze the operational system of healthcare organizations. However, the crisis management plan of COVID19 implemented in Al-Adan Hospital, Kuwait, has been successful. Therefore, this study aims to present the crisis management plan for COVID19 implemented in our institution. Design: Presenting and framing the prescriptive strategy of the crisis management approach adopted. The literature was further critically reviewed to reflect on the plan implemented to enrich the current experience and formulate future recommendations. Setting: Al-Adan Hospital, Kuwait. Main Outcome Measures: The prescriptive strategy adopted for the crisis management plan consists of three managerial frameworks: COVID19 team, COVID19 management strategy, and strategy for maintaining emergency healthcare services. Results: Balancing between the standardization model of implementing governmental regulations, and the personalization model of placing the patients and the employees at the center of the strategy, could explain the success of the plan. The strategy implemented could be further strengthened by elevating the principles of leaderships and encouraging health digitalization. Conclusion: This study presents a novel framework of crisis management for healthcare systems by raising the concept of balancing between the standardization and personalization models.

Crisis Management Plan

The security professionals are always talking about Emergency Plan, Emergency Preparedness, Emergency Response, Crisis Management, Crisis Management Plan, Business Continuity Management, Business Continuity Plan. etc. That is a question whichcomes to my mind do we know exactly what these phrases meanings are? My experiences show, usually we have different interpretations on the above mentioned expressions. Briefly we need to have an Emergency Plan to provide our Emergency Preparedness and to be able to take our Emergency Responses in case of a real Emergency situation. If we were able to eliminate the Emergency situation the problemhas been solved. If we had no success the Emergency can be develop a crisis situation which we need to manage by the Crisis Management Plan. As we are over the crisis we need to adopt our Business Continuity Plan to be able to manage our continuous operationor production. The aim of this study to providea useful tool or set up for security leaders on Crisis Management which is a clear security task and not as like Emergency Preparedness which is related to safety organization as Business Continuity is connected to each business functions.
