The hospital’s IT and phone systems have been down since Jan. 31, when it was struck by what it called a “known criminal threat actor.”
As Lurie Children’s MyChart patient portal remains offline, the hospital said in a Feb. 22 update that patients will have to bring paper copies of insurance cards as well as medication bottles if they don’t have a list of everything they take.
