This issue is all about disaster planning. We bring you tales from the front from a practice in Houston, Texas, that exemplifies how to make the best out of a bad situation. We offer advice on disaster planning, employee policies, personal survival tips and how to secure your data. We hope that you’ll use this issue as a guide for how to plan and implement measures that will keep you safe when the next storm rolls in (and enjoy the supplemental on Patient Centered Medical Home).
