Y2K raises challenges for healthcare risk managers that go beyond information technology issues. This article explains that (1) too little public attention is being paid to equipment which may well have Y2K faults and (2) few standards have been articulated for dealing with problems. Healthcare risk managers therefore must return to basic due diligence principles and develop their own standards and protocols. The article explains how to do due diligence and outlines suggested steps for dealing with the non-information technology side of compliance due diligence.
千禧年问题给医疗风险管理带来的挑战远不止信息技术问题。本文指出：（1）公众对可能存在千禧年问题的设备关注过少；（2）处理这些问题的标准鲜有明确。因此，医疗风险管理必须回归基本的尽职调查原则，制定自己的标准和协议。本文阐述了如何进行尽职调查，并概述了处理合规尽职调查中非信息技术方面问题的建议步骤。
