Abstract (English): This study conducted action research to design an effective business continuity plan (BCP) addressing potential flood situations for hospitals. The research consisted of two main Steps. In Step 1 (Clarifying actions), we performed a scenario-based analysis of a near-term flood situation. Then, we conducted a cross-sectional survey across all 48 departments of a selected hospital based on the calculated flood risk (Step 0). In Step 2 (Challenges toward an appropriate BCP), we organized a workshop to identify the potential challenges that hospitals could face during a disaster. This innovative approach is encapsulated in our action research model, "Step 3Cs." We found that, in case of a life-threatening crisis, 17.6% of hospital inpatients may be at risk, while 28.0% of staff members may need to leave and return home. The qualitative analysis revealed that a significant challenge to establishing an effective BCP is the lack of concrete organizational policies and supplementary measures to address anticipated damage caused by floods. By integrating data from each department, Step 1 effectively emphasized the worst-case scenarios that hospitals might encounter during an emergency. Furthermore, Step 2 identified organizational challenges associated with developing a BCP for floods, enabling participants to view the situation from multiple perspectives. Overall, the Step 3Cs action research model is a potentially highly effective framework for creating an effective BCP for hospitals threatened by flood risks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Japanese): 【目的】参加型アクションリサーチを用いた病院風水害 BCP 策定の手法を開発することを目的とする。【方法】リスク評 価 (Step 0) を基盤に、48 部署を対象とした状況設定課題を含む組織横断調査 (Step 1) 、BCP 課題抽出のためのワークショップ (Step 2) にて構成されたアクションリサーチ "Step 3Cs" を用いた。【対象】一級河川に沿って設置された病院の職員。【結果】浸 水による電源喪失により入院患者等の17.6% の生命が脅かされる恐れがある一方、帰宅が必要な職員数は28.0% と試算された。 BCP 課題は《病院組織としての風水害ポリシーと補完戦略》等4 カテゴリーから構成された。【考察】Step 1 は、データの統合 により病院に起こり得る危機事態の予測を可能にさせ、Step 2 は、組織全体の課題を多角的にとらえることを助け、BCP 課題 抽出に寄与した。【結語】アクションリサーチ "Step 3Cs" は、風水害 BCP の策定を助ける有効な方法である。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
