2. HCA did not immediately respond to MedCity News for a comment, but later confirmed the outage was related to a hardware storage issue.
3. An HCA spokesperson told iHealthBeat the issue has been resolved.
4. “Sunday morning we experienced a hardware storage issue that limited the use of our electronic health record at some of our hospitals, primarily in Florida. On Monday, full access was restored using our existing alternate data center strategy. While working to fix this issue, which did not affect patient care, we used other systems and processes we have in place. We appreciate the patience and diligence of our caregivers,” HCA told Becker’s Hospital Review in an emailed comment.
