Summary
McLaren Port Huron Hospital reverted to using paper records following a ransomware attack on Aug. 6 that disrupted the IT systems of McLaren Health Care, impacting 13 of its facilities. Although IT systems are now restored, the hospital faces delays in patient care and is working to catch up on missed appointments by the end of the week. The transfer of patient information from paper back into electronic systems is expected to take several weeks.
