I can’t imagine doing my job with a computer like that. I need to be able to plug in scanners and label printers and other specialty equipment and swap out peripherals as they break like how would that even work?
Normally those are pre-approved by IT and you wouldn’t be the one swapping those out. You would put in a request saying hey this item is broken can you please troubleshoot it and somebody would come out troubleshoot it and swap it out as needed.
Then IT needs to be onsite 24/7 and that’s just not realistic for a looot of places. Especially not rural med but I’m in in a hospital in a mid to large size city I’m just in 50 bed or so location that’s in a part of the city nobody GAF about.
I do a lot of work for a hospital system in the intermountain West. They do have rural locations. And they do have IT stuff that is on call 24/7 at every single one of their locations. So it’s not unheard of it’s not unusual it’s pretty normal. I do a good chunk of the work I do for them which is mainly network and systems upgrades as well as Wi-Fi and access points. And I do most of it overnight with one of their IT staff.
