What percent of AHS employees do you think were working there 10 years ago to have a functional knowledge of how things "used to be done"?
Believe me, it's not just you filling out a form that is being done by hand. When people become dependent on technology and then it is taken away, even the most adept person will be at some sort of deficit. If you know how things are supposed to work, will everyone else in the chain also know how to perform?
Even when everything is back online all of the hand written orders will have to be entered in the various systems, so it's not going to be a seamless transition back to normal.
It's a lot of extra work for an already stressed system.
