Event Description

The South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) seeks a qualified partner to conduct an

Extended Downtime Health Care Delivery Impact Assessment. This assessment will target South

Dakota Health Care Coalition (SD HCC) partners statewide across healthcare including but not

limited to; long-term care, and public health. It will assess the impact of non-cyber-related events

that disrupt healthcare operations, including IT disruptions such as system outages, network

failures, data access issues, or the loss of electronic health records, as well as utility failures like

water, gas, or electricity outages, disruptions in heating or cooling systems, and interruptions in

waste management services, in addition to medical equipment malfunctions, natural disasters,

and other related incidents.

The assessment will evaluate the current operations of facilities within the coalition, focusing on

their capacity to maintain critical services and support surrounding communities, particularly

those most vulnerable to disasters. It will also review existing mitigation strategies to address

potential impacts, including how the SD HCC collaborates with applicable partners in coordinating

healthcare response and incident management for extended downtime events. The primary aim

will be identifying vulnerabilities and assessing the impact of extended downtime events on these

sectors.

The ideal partner will have expertise in healthcare cybersecurity (including operating systems and

medical equipment), healthcare coalitions, public health, emergency management, the hospital

incident command system (HICS), and healthcare facility and operational management.
