The health system’s computer network suffered a major disruption around 6:30 p.m. April 4; however, by 2 a.m. April 5, the problem had been resolved. All 14 of the system’s hospitals — located in Wisconsin and Minnesota — were affected by the outage, which led staff to operate under “standard offline procedures,” a spokesperson told Fox 9 late Wednesday. Allina hospitals remained open and accepted patients during the downtime.
“All systems are now operational. During the outage, Allina Health implemented our standard offline procedures, and there was no impact to patient care,” a hospital spokesperson told Becker’s Hospital Review.
