The disruption, which began on Dec. 19, is unrelated to a cyberattack, according to a press release from TMH. In response, the health system immediately implemented standard downtime procedures to maintain patient safety.

TMH has reached out to scheduled patients with updates on surgeries and procedures. Meanwhile, critical services, including trauma, stroke, NICU, and heart attack care, continue to operate without interruption. TMH Physician Partner practices are also open and seeing pre-scheduled patients.

Although the main phone lines for the hospital and clinical locations are temporarily down, TMH expects to restore full system functionality within 12 to 48 hours.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
