Not sure where you get your information... My husband was at The Villages Hospital on Tuesday for Pre-surgery paperwork which was all done by hand as computers were down. On Wednesday, he had his surgery with computers and phones still down. Nursing staff entering information via paper charts. While I have no first hand knowledge of the cause, I can verify through direct observation that nursing staff was doing a phenomenal job (as did our surgeon and the OR staff). The "older" experienced nurses were mentoring the younger staff who hadn't needed to chart via paper prior to this. All were giving great effort and service. My point is that something major happened to cause the system to be down for two consecutive days.
