Health care Y2K resource book is now available
It’s not too late to prep your facility
With the year 2000 (Y2K) deadline fast approaching, hospitals, other health care providers, and the medical device industry are scrambling to complete a process that in many cases was started too late.
What once may have been a logistical issue is burgeoning into an overwhelming problem across all industries. It continues to be compounded by the scarcity of time, increasing costs, and a lack of available programming resources and expertise, particularly in health care settings.
As the year 2000 computer compatibility issue continues to move far beyond a simple technological problem, American Health Consultants, publisher of Rehab Continuum Report, has announced it is offering a special Y2K guide for health care providers. Called the Hospital Manager's Y2K Crisis Manual, the book includes a compilation of resources for nontechnical hospital managers.
Find solutions to millennium problems
The 150-page reference manual includes information, in nontechnical language, on the problems your facility will face, the potential fixes, and the possible consequences, including the following:
-Will your computers and software work properly in the year 2000?
-What does Y2K mean for patient care?
-What will happen to your facility’s medical devices?
-How can you make sure your vendors are Y2K-compliant?
-Are you at legal risk due to Y2K?
-Are you prepared if Y2K delays Health Care Financing Administration payments?
The Hospital Manager's Y2K Crisis Manual is available now for $149.
