NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WMSV) – A major cyber security breach at Ascension is impacting doctors’ abilities to respond to emergencies and some patients are having their appointments postponed, according to the medical group.
Ascension detected unusual activity in its network systems on Wednesday, May 8 and said it is working “around the clock with internal and external advisors to investigate.”
The medical group said their electronic health records system and MyChart, which allows patients to see their records and communicate with providers, are down. Phone systems and various systems used to order tests procedures and medications are also offline due to the cyberattack.
