Don't get sick Sunday night. I just got an email from one of the big hospital chains in town that starts out
System Outage NotificationMore, including background for the poll, below the fleur-de-kos.
On November 1 the electronic data system will be unavailable from 1:00 am DST to 2:00am CST
At 0050 on Nov. 1st all facilities will be on Downtime procedures to allow the duplicate hour to pass, preventing duplicate data or data with the incorrect time to post to a patient's Electronic health Record (EHR).
During the downtime:
You'll still be able to view information but nothing new will be posted.
If tests are done during the downtime, the results won't be view able until after 0200.
For immediate updates, please contact your patient's nurse.
Don't enter orders on computerized physician order entry. Staff won't have access to the system during the downtime.
