During the outage, which lasted a few hours, “critical” information technology systems were down and patient records were inaccessible, a hospital employee told KNXV.
“The affected system was back online within a few hours,” Phoenix Children’s Hospital COO David Higginson said in the statement provided to Becker’s. “Our staff followed the planned protocols we regularly practice. Patient records were accessible at all times.”
