Description
Helene went far beyond an Epic downtime. Our entire region lost power, internet connectivity, water and overarching communications. In this seminar, we will review what makes Helen such a new event with Epic downtime. The storm brought in new challenges in patient care, community support, and survival. Then we will review the days after and how we brought our hospital and people back online as connections to the outside world returned.
