The Y2K Compliance Manual for the Medical Office

Cohen (the lead developer of RPA, the major expert medical information technology system) presents a guide to preparing the medical practice for the inevitable bumps that will be experienced as a result of the Y2K ripple effect. Following an introduction on managing year 2000 risk, seven chapters address the historical and technical aspects of the problem, define the infrastructure of the typical American business, discuss how understanding the structure will set the foundation for remediation efforts, and examine the unique aspects of the medical practice with its own special needs and problems, relevant legal issues, and details of remediation. The six appendices provide valuable resources for developing a model. Three-ring binder format. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
