12/6/07 The Importance of Backing Up
This morning I went to the local lab to get some blood work done (routine) and I overheard a nurse say to a very frustrated patient, "This is a new computer so we have no access to the files on the old one." Um, excuse me? Are you a business working in the 21st century? Aren't you part of a large corporation that has many outlets across these United States? I'm sorry but you should have some type of local archiving process for sensitive and important documents such as patient information. Better yet, your company should provide some type of network access and backing up procedure. In today's world there's no excuse for this type of ineptitude and indolence.
*steps off soapbox*
