Sure. We've become very reliant on the electronic system, and if it's down for any length of time, while we have contingencies in place, it's still a very debilitating impact to our organization. Some of the contingencies we have, for example, are that we do a backup of patients' information for patients who are in the hospital, or for patients who have clinic appointments. Sites are set on routinely backing up a summary of information on those patients, but when the systems are down, our contingency plans are centred around paper and it's very problematic if they're down for any length of time. But we do have contingencies in place.
