We are so thoroughly committed to the computer now, Bert, that it would be difficult to do. I am not sure we even have prescription pads in the rooms. Almost none of our visits are for acute issues, and I really have to review each chart before seeing each patient. When we are down, we are down hard. My understanding is that the AC back up is set to go several times a day on to the first server, and is then copied to the second server. If the first server dies, we do a quick restore on the second and switch paths, while the first server is repaired. The servers are identical, so the repair can be pretty leisurely.
I realize I need to know this better, so I have scheduled a session with IT this week to show me how to do this without their help. If my description is wrong, I'll post it here.
