Every year, the ornamental cherry trees along the Saaraltarm provide a magnificent view from the windows of our practice. Unfortunately, their pink splendor only lasts a few weeks.
Who hasn't experienced this?
The computer has an inscrutable life of its own, always behaving differently than you do.
In our practice, we also struggle with our IT system every day. Unfortunately, this battle not only involves considerable maintenance and therefore time-consuming work, but the cost of replacing equipment also seems to be an all-consuming black hole.
Recently, our main printer at the reception suffered damage that was beyond repair when a one-cent coin found its way into the printer and left a deep scratch in the drum.
Software updates are also always a joy.
Recently, our computer at the reception responded to the update with a loss of sound from the VOIP phone and the loss of functionality of the Start menu button on the taskbar. The computer in our main consulting room also performed an update without prompting (actually not possible according to the system settings). Initially, the consulting room was out of service for 30 minutes because the computer was unusable. After that, the entire complex printer configuration with its various printer bays disappeared.
This should answer the question of what a doctor does on his afternoon off.
Qui ne le sait pas ?
L'ordinateur a une vie propre et impénétrable qui veut toujours faire les choses différemment de vous.
Dans notre pratique, nous sommes également confrontés quotidiennement à des difficultés avec notre système informatique. Malheureusement, ce combat n’implique pas seulement un entretien considérable et donc une perte de temps. Le coût de remplacement des équipements semble également être un gouffre dévorant.
Récemment, notre imprimante principale au bureau d'enregistrement a subi des dommages qui n'ont pas pu être réparés de manière économique lorsqu'une pièce d'un cent s'est retrouvée dans l'imprimante et a laissé une rainure profonde dans le tambour.
Les mises à jour du logiciel sont également toujours un vrai plaisir.
Finalement, notre ordinateur a répondu à la mise à jour lors de la connexion avec une perte de son du téléphone VOIP et une perte de fonctionnalité du bouton du menu Démarrer sur la barre des tâches. L'ordinateur de notre salle de consultation principale a également effectué une mise à jour sans qu'on le lui demande (en fait, ce qui n'est pas possible selon les paramètres du système). Au départ, la salle de consultation a été fermée pendant 30 minutes car l'ordinateur était inutilisable. Après cela, toute la configuration complexe de l'imprimante avec différentes baies d'imprimante a disparu.
Cela devrait répondre à la question de savoir ce que fait un médecin pendant son après-midi de congé.
I took advantage of the holiday season to update our website again. For a few days now, our site has been running on the latest version 3.5 of the Joomla content management system (CMS). The underlying components, such as our blog system, have also been updated. These updates serve to improve the site's functionality and security.
In addition to this work, which is directly visible to patients who visit our website, all of our practice's software also requires regular maintenance. Extensive updates for our practice management, document management, and X-ray software are released almost monthly.
This work usually goes unnoticed by patients during the holiday season or on weekends and requires a significant amount of time. However, it is essential to keep our indispensable computer system running.
On March 19, our 5th Saarlouis Shoulder Course took place in the seminar rooms of the Saarlouis Medical Center, where our practice is located. With 83 participants, the course was fully booked, as in previous years. The topic of this day was shoulder instability and rotator cuff injuries. Particular attention was paid to the changes that occur over the course of life and influence treatment concepts. Further events are planned for the course of this year, with some targeting medical colleagues. There are also events planned for patients. The dates have not yet been finalized but will be announced on our website in due course.
