SAH phone line is still working as technicians work to restore computer system; manual procedures may cause delays and some patient procedures may be rescheduled. Affected patients will be contacted, hospital says
Sault Area Hospital’s computer systems are down as a result of a global technology outage that grounded flights, knocked banks offline and media outlets off air on Friday.
“This is an infrastructure loss. All computer systems, including the patients’ electronic medical records are down,” Calibani said.“The outage is due to the current worldwide I.T. outage. This is not a cyber accident,” Calibani said. “Patient safety is Sault Area Hospital’s priority and all emergencies will be prioritized. If you have an emergency please call 911 or proceed to the emergency department. Do not delay care. Our I.T. department is diligently working to restore our computer systems as soon as possible. Sault Area Hospital will keep the community updated as soon as our systems are restored,” Calibani said.
