An EHR rollout at the University of Vermont Medical Center is being delayed due to a recent ransomware incident.
The lingering aftershocks of an October ransomware attack and ongoing COVID-19 response challenges are forcing the University of Vermont Health Network to delay the next phases of an enterprisewide electronic health record rollout.
The Burlington, Vermont-based healthcare system, which includes six hospitals and other care facilities, says it will revise planned implementation of next phases of its EHR system from Epic Systems Corp, “amid the ongoing effort to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and restore normal operations following a recent cyberattack.”
