Contingency Planning - Disaster Prevention

Even the best run system has times when the EMR is not available to all subscribers. It could be due to a server being unavailable or the network is down. Network components may fail or you may experience a power outage. The Contingency Planning application runs each night and extracts a schedule and chart summary for each patient with an appointment in the next five days. These summaries are stored on a computer in the location, so if you have remote offices, they each have their own copies of summaries.

If you lose connection to the EMR, the receptionist can print the schedules and summaries for the patients for the time period of the outage. If the EMR is unavailable for only two hours, then only two hours worth of summaries need be printed.
