“Are you preparing for the Millenium?” This question should be taken seriously as the new year 2000 AD (Y2K) approaches.

The impact of the computer programming glitch is not limited just to information technology, but also to human life. Is the company you work for preparing for this?

Health care organizations could be victims of potential area-wide or state-wide disasters, similar to those caused by power failures.

What can you do? Ask your administrator for for your facility’s Y2K disaster plan and become familiar with it.

Prepare for Y2K in your job and home. Have hard copies of all documentation from the last 3 - 6 months. This should include medical and financial information. At work, what would happen if all your documentation vanished? Make life simpler for yourself and start now by being ready as soon as you can. NN
