Here are four hospitals that have dealt with cyberattacks that Becker’s has reported on since Oct. 20:

 

  1. Oceanside, Calif.-based Tri-City Medical Center is dealing with a cyberattack that activated its command center and caused ambulance diversions. 
  2. Rexburg, Idaho-based Madison Memorial Hospital was targeted in a cyberattack, but the efforts of IT workers staying through the night stopped the hackers from accessing patient data.
  3. Kingston, N.Y.-based HealthAlliance Hospital and Margaretville (N.Y.) Hospital were both hit by a cyberattack that caused ambulance diversions.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
