[Histonet] Downtime Procedure

[Cathy]

It would be good to hear any responses to this question.  Last October our
entire facility's computer system was down for 2 1/2 days.  We do have
downtime log sheets that we implemented but no formal procedure.  Management
is now looking at how the crash was handled and for ways to improve things.
The downtime log sheets were very useful but I'm sure there is much more
that we could be doing.

Subject: [Histonet] Downtime Procedure


Does anyone have specific downtime procedures for when the Anatomic
Pathology area computer goes down?  The AP area in my facility does not have
a downtime procedure and we ran into an issue yesterday when the computer
system went down.  We processed, on the fly, as it were, but I now recognize
our deficiency in not having a formal procedure.  Can anyone provide any
examples for me to work off of, so that I don't have to recreate the wheel?

Thanks for any help!
