Abstract: Despite the role of Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) in protecting mission-critical IT assets, there is no known published empirical research that has addressed the understanding of DRP use within any industry, let alone healthcare. This study attempts to examine the major variables that affect the initiation, adoption, and implementation of DRP by Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) to secure their Health Management Information System (HMIS) environments. Different sets of factors from among HMO risk-taking behaviour, HMIS reliance, structural variables, environmental factors, and DRP characteristics were found to be significantly related to the initiation, adoption, and implementation stages of the DRP process.
