Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To meet the challenge of ensuring total year 2000 compliance across a large health system, HealthCare Colorado, a statewide not-for-profit management and contracting organization, has undertaken a massive effort to identify and correct year 2000 deficiencies. The health system's board decided to concentrate first on ensuring that all of the system's PCs were year 2000 compliant, focusing initially on PCs in the health system's numerous physician offices. The board engaged a consulting firm and appointed a project team to oversee the effort. A process was developed in which a tool provided by the consulting firm was used to test each PC, the consulting firm analyzed the results, hardware deficiencies were corrected, and PCs that required corrections were retested to verify compliance. |
