Paradox
Abstract
Upon completion of the annual fiscal cost report by the counties it was required to be submitted to the Department of Health Care Services, DHCS. Past submissions have been via a Floppy A drive and because technology has advanced, e-mail or other electronic storage media has become the preferred method. However, Paradox is not programmed to save the necessary files to an e-mail or other electronic storage media.
