It will only take a few days of lost work to get her to close her shit.

You'd think so - with at least a dozen lost work items in 4+ years.. still refuses to shut down her apps.

Don't spread it out. daily reboots would force the pain every day. Even farm animals respond to painful events by trying to not repeat them.

LOL - If I were the boss, I could do that. She has already ordered me to remove her from the monthly updates - so I have to nag her to do those manually, they can't be pushed to her via WSUS, because of reboots.
We might not agree with it or be happy about it.. but we (You and I) don't own the company, so we can only go so far. But, you already know that.
Now say something about how stupid she is so we can move on with our day. -

Make sure you have a "get it in writing to remove HIPAA requirement automation."

OH, good one.. She's breaking HIPAA by not being updated.

Over a certain time frame, yeah.
That's going to be the big motivation here. Maybe he should even go to the owners and say "as you title me an IT decision maker, I meed a sign off to allow disregarding the law and a statement that I'm not allowed to follow HIPAA against my requirements, knowledge, and recommendations." Don't argue it, just make them state that they've accepted responsibility by demanding he not follow HIPAA. -

So yeah.

Right, even if she promises to do it as HIPAA requires, he needs to be indemnified from that.
