The cyberattack, which struck the Frederick, Md.-based health system on Jan. 27, disrupted operations and led to the postponement of appointments and procedures. As of Feb. 18, the restoration of its EHR system has enabled the organization to resume scheduling and rescheduling affected patient visits.

However, Frederick Health’s patient portal remains unavailable, according to an update on its website.
