Update On Global IT Outage At Regional Hospitals
Last updated: Friday July 19th, 5:20pm
Local hospitals are slowly getting back to normal following a Microsoft/CrowdStrike global IT outage, which has been confirmed not to be a cyber-attack.
TransForm, the hospital’s regional IT service provider, is working diligently on restoration efforts while staff in local hospitals use downtime procedures, including paper charting.
The majority of clinical systems have been restored and remaining non-clinical systems will be completed over the weekend.
Officials say that while wait times have been reduced significantly due to these efforts, patients may experience minor delays over the course of the weekend. Hospitals will contact patients directly if there is an impact to appointments or procedures.
