For operations teams

When things go wrong, every staff member can reach the plan.

Your business continuity plan becomes something staff can ask, on any device, when other systems are down. Across a group, every service draws from the same approved library, and you can see each home side by side.

Continuity, as it is

Most continuity plans are written for inspectors, not for staff at 2am.

The plan exists, but it is a long document in a folder few people have read. During a staff shortage, an IT outage or severe weather, nobody has time to find the right page.

Across several services the problem multiplies: different versions, different practice, and no single view.

Without CareStream

A plan in a folder that staff have never opened, and different versions of the same policy in different homes.

With CareStream

Staff ask the plan what to do in the scenario in front of them, and every service works from the same centrally approved library.

What changes for you

A continuity plan your whole team can actually use.

Answers in the moment, and a view across every service you run.

Questions from operations teams

Frequently asked.

Can staff reach the plan if our systems are down?

The hub works on any phone or browser, and staff can also ask by email, so the plan is not tied to an office computer.

How do we know staff are familiar with the plan?

Staff familiarisation testing checks understanding before an incident, and query analytics show which parts of the plan are asked about.

Does it work across several services?

Yes. All services can draw from one centrally managed library, with per service analytics and a group console to compare them.

What happens when we update the plan?

Once the new version is approved, staff answers come from it immediately. Superseded guidance is not used.
