VHMA Webinar: Information Technology Points of Failure
VHMA Member Price: $0 ; Non-Member Price: $30
WHAT IS A POINT OF FAILURE?
A point of failure is anything in your practice electronic, which can fail, that affects patient care or dollar transactions, and does not have a redundant replacement. Seems like a simple statement and it really is. We take for granted everyday that our equipment in our business will just keep plugging away. It is there in the morning and still going in the afternoon. If you ask it to, it will work with you late into the night. It doesn’t ask much, but provides much for us. Like the light switches in your house, you just take for granted, when you flip it up, it will light up the room. But what happens if this does not occur? What if you turn on the computer before the door opens for business and nothing? Are you ready for this? To determine how many points of failure you can allow in your business, you must determine the business tolerance to down time. Is it a day, is it 4 hours, or is it zero? This topic does not generally get much thought until something happens. Being proactive can save the day.
