Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This manual is a must for every physician! You will learn the importance of becoming year 2000 compliant, even if your practice is not computerized or if your computers are new. Legal experts will explain why you need to address the Y2K problem and what documentation you need. The authors provide a comprehensive process in a concise package that includes software to test your PC's. You may be concerned that this task is beyond the capabilities of your staff or you lack the time to devote to a Y2K compliance project. If this is true then the authors will educate you on the Y2K problem and thus allow you to ask the right questions to hire, and supervise, the perfect consultant. The year 2000 computer problem poses special concerns and liabilities for the medical community. These difficulties are both legal and medical. Learn how to protect yourself and your staff with this comprehensive kit.

From the Author

When preparing our practice for the Year 2000, we spent a great deal of time and money researching the problem, consulting with attorneys, accountants, and Y2K consultants. We became quite frustrated over the lack of assistance specific to the medical community. We decided to summarize what we learned for others like us. We understand that most medical staff and physicians do not have a lot of free time during the average workday. Therefore, we have incorporated numerous time saving steps into our manual. For example, we have made all of the compliance/survey letters available on a floppy disc, so your staff does not need to retype them. Additionally, the manual is concise and straight to the point because we want you to be able to implement the plan as quickly as possible. This manual contains all of the procedures we used to become Y2K compliant and to reduce our legal exposure. We also discuss the problems with Medicare and other insurance providers, the banking system, your liability insurance and more. We hope it will jump-start your compliance program, thus minimizing the impact of the Millennium Bug on your practice's success. We wish you the very best of luck in completing your Y2K project.
