Hi Folks, This morning's Eastern Daily Press on-line:
carries a story:
Doctors warn on computers ELAINE MASLIN 21 February 2008 04:35
Health bosses have put thousands of patients' care at risk by failing to upgrade a defunct computer system, GPs claimed yesterday.
Doctors at Reepham's GP practice say they have had to use obsolete computers, which stop them accessing patients' records, for months while waiting for a new system and upgrade.
The article is silent about what the technical aspects of the necessary upgrade are; but further down it states:
The computers were bought in 2003 by the surgery and work on a server more than six years old.
That's very young by Linux standards! I wonder what the problem is ... ??
Best wishes to all, Ted.
