The Alpine Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism P.C posted a notice for patients about its EMR outage.
Two companies that serve the healthcare sector have reported disruptive cyber incidents affecting their clients, the latest in a string of similar supply chain incidents.
The most recent incidents affected San Antonio-based CaptureRx, which provides healthcare technology and administrative services to hundreds of U.S. hospitals and others, and Dallas-based MedNetworx, which provides hosted medical software, including the Aprima electronic medical records system from CompuGroup eMDs.
Many of the largest health data breaches reported to federal regulators so far this year have involved vendors, including the attack that took advantage of vulnerabilities in the Accellion File Transfer Appliance product.
[This piece has been updated to include additional user experiences with the outage.]
A reported ransomware attack on the CompuGroup Medical data center partner, MedNetwoRX, has impeded some customers access to their Aprima electronic health record systems for more than two weeks.
According to emails forwarded to
Healthcare IT News, the disruption began on April 22 – and some hosted Aprima clients are still waiting for service to be restored as of Friday. The outage has been tremendously disruptful to our ability to properly care for our patients, said Dr. Christopher Fox, a Colorado-based endocrinologist.
Fox s clinic, the Alpine Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism, is an Aprima EHR client.
