abstract: As the clock continues to tick toward the new millennium, healthcare systems are racing to determine the severity of the year-2000 bug infestation. One system putting its computers and medical devices to the test so far has found a 20% failure rate. The system also has found that some devices just can't be tested. As one expert said: "This is not a technology problem; it's a management challenge."
