The most common problems, he said, were outdated telephone systems and contingency plans. One concern in nursing homes, for example, is that night staff members know how to turn off any malfunctioning security alarms so as not to panic elderly residents. The pharmaceutical industry is considered well-prepared to handle the transition, even though it relies heavily on computers at all levels. There's really no issues with the computers, although any individual store could run into minor glitches,'' said Ernie Boyd of the Ohio Pharmacists Association. Again, the chief worry among pharmacists is that they might not get paid on time.
Timing is pretty critical for our guys.
