With regard to the Scripps Clinic EMR ransomware disaster.
It is Epic. It is clearly involving patient care issues such as scheduling and portal messaging and medical records. So, this is not just “internal servers”.
I cannot tell you how many times I have set through Epic meetings with their employees bragging that their systems and software are impervious to hacks.
Smaller non-epic hospitals have been hit before. This is the first Epic whale.
I have known this day was coming for a long time. These systems are a disaster.
Americans, when your Doc is putting your private medical info into a computer, as of today, he may as well be putting it online for the world to see. You have been warned.
