The incident
A Mount Gambier veterinary clinic in South Australia experienced intermittent failures with their X-ray computer system. The disruptions caused delays in imaging services, impacting their ability to provide timely care for patients. Located in a rural area, the clinic required a swift solution to minimise downtime and avoid costly call-out fees.
Our response
Medic Cloud acted immediately to address the issue. Here’s how we resolved the problem:
1. Replication and loan system preparation:
We replicated the clinic’s X-ray system setup in our office using a loan computer.
A temporary license was installed on the loan system to ensure functionality.
2. Express shipping of loan system:
The loan computer was express-shipped to the Mount Gambier Clinic.
The system was packaged with clear instructions, enabling the clinic staff to perform a direct swap with their faulty computer.
The original computer was securely packed in the same box and returned to us for diagnosis.
3. Diagnosis and budget-friendly repair:
Upon receiving the faulty computer, we conducted a thorough diagnosis and identified the problem.
Instead of recommending a costly replacement, we repaired the faulty component to save the clinic unnecessary expenses.
4. Upgrades and data management:
While the computer was in our possession, we backed up all the clinic’s data to ensure nothing was lost.
We updated the operating system and X-ray software to the latest versions, enhancing the system’s performance and reliability.
5. Repackaging and return:
The repaired computer was repackaged and express-shipped back to the clinic.
The loan system was returned to us, completing the process.
