End-of-Life July
15, 2015
 Prime
Clinical Systems
is fully dedicated
to comply with
Health Insurance
Portability and
Accountability
Act (HIPAA) security
guidelines and
procedures. Microsoft
has announced
the official end-of-life
support for Windows
Server 2003 R2
on July 15, 2015,
making this version
of the Microsoft
Operating Systems
non-HIPAA compliant.
In an effort to
inform our clients
to plan ahead
and avoid the
last minute rush,
we highly recommend
to start considering
upgrading your
servers to Windows
2008 R2 or Windows
2012. A typical
server upgrade
may require your
office to be down
for a few days.
Please contact
our Hardware Department
to coordinate
and facilitate
this upcoming
project.
