Doctors worry patients will fall through cracks due to Lurie’s outage
Some health providers tied into Lurie’s system have been unable to see patients’ records, and sometimes unable to reach patients altogether.
Two weeks after a cybersecurity threat forced Lurie Children’s Hospital to shut down its systems and revert to a paper-and-pen system of charting and billing patients, there is still no word on when the hospital will be able to get online again. And the outage is having a ripple effect across the medical community.
Reset gets an update on what doctors and parents say their experience is like right now due to the systems outage at Chicago’s biggest children’s hospital.
