The Epic Systems daylight saving time failure I mentioned three days ago is also mentioned in a well-written article about important electronic health records problems that appears in the next issue of The New Yorker. The article reports the following for last fall's daylight saving transition in a Partners HealthCare hospital running the Epic software system: "The only solution was to shut down the lab systems during the repeated hour. Data from integrated biomedical devices (such as monitoring equipment for patients’ vital signs) would be unavailable and would have to be recorded by hand. Fetal monitors in the obstetrics unit would have to be manually switched off and on at the top of the repeated hour." Gawande A. Why doctors hate their computers.
