by dchan last modified 2006-05-21 18:45

It is important to ensure users make effective use of systems and technology. Furthermore, it is essential that the Information Technology Department contains the costs associated with providing desktop and laptop support. Knowing how to use technology appropriately should be regarded as a professional responsibility required throughout the Department of Family Medicine’s staff and students.

This responsibility includes:

  • Using standard hardware and software wherever possible
  • Communicating with other users in standard formats
  • Acquiring training in the use of their system (as necessary to do their jobs) by attending training classes, keeping and reading instruction manuals
  • Following standard operating procedures for backups, software installation, troubleshooting
  • Performing routine backups of important data and files
  • Being able to understand and perform basic computer tasks such as copying files, installing some software, etc.
  • Using their systems responsibly and ethically, regarding these systems as assets to the Department of Family Medicine which enable them to do their job efficiently
