In an emergency, a private caretaker institution with an
international reputation and clientele needs to be able to contact
geographically disparate family members and to provide all the
information a hospital/medical staffer might need instantly, and without
fail.  Computers do not (yet) provide this capability.


Examples:
Rehab clinic, boarding school, Nursing Homes, private "asylums".

There are probably more examples as well.
