A spokesperson for healthcare provider Ascension says Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan and the Wamego Health Center have successfully restored primary technology used for electronic patient documentation in care settings.
The announcement means all Via Christi hospitals in Kansas have now successfully restored EHR access. This will allow most hospital departments, physician offices and clinics to use electronic documentation and charting, meaning improved efficiencies and wait times.
Ascension announced the cybersecurity incident in early May affecting hospitals and health care facilities in its nationwide network. It’s working to complete EHR restoration across its ministry by the end of this week.
