I can't see how the failure of a computer system meant that they couldn't deal with emergency patients /agree When we put in a new PAS and had to work on paper for 5 or so days, everybody said how easy and simple life had just become and that they didn't want a computer system back. Sounds like it was a capacity issue rather than a computer one. Or someone had never entertained the possibility that they might lose the computer access for a while and hadn't done any contingency planning.
