Ascension Wisconsin says access to electronic health records has been restored

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Ascension Wisconsin announced Monday, June 10, they have successfully restored Electronic Health Record access. This comes after a cybersecurity attack forced a systemwide shutdown weeks ago.

According to a news release, restored record access will allow most hospital departments, physician offices and clinics to use electronic documentation and ordering systems. 

The news release says in part, "Restoring our electronic health record is significant progress in a complex process, and we thank our patients and community for their support, patience and understanding, as well as our dedicated clinicians who continue to provide high-quality care. Rest assured, our commitment to the health and safety of our community remains our highest priority."
