title: Ka-boom! When disaster strikes.
abstract: When Hurricane Opal slammed Florida's gulf coast last October, Baptist Healthcare in Pensacola was in danger of a direct hit, putting the hospital's mainframe, minicomputers and telecommunications network--not to mention its patients--in peril. But Baptist had planned for just such a danger and, in the end, no harm was done. How would your hospital have fared? Here's what you can do now to make sure your hospital will keep running after disaster strikes.
