UMC Health System in Lubbock, Texas, has successfully recovered its electronic health records (EHR) post a ransomware attack lasting three weeks. Although EHRs are now operational, other critical patient care IT systems are still offline. Furthermore, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, alongside affiliated entities, is also coping with IT outages likely stemming from the UMC incident
As UMC works to restore patient-facing and internal care systems, an estimated timeline for full service recovery remains unspecified. The ransomware attack's impact may be widespread, necessitating diligent efforts by UMC to restore services securely. The incident's ongoing investigation, coupled with collaboration with third-party firms, underpins UMC's cautious approach to reestablishing operations amidst continuing challenges. ```https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/umc-recovers-ehr-other-systems-offline-3-weeks-post-attack-a-26530
