Cass Regional Medical Center ransomware attack update

July 13, 2018

Cass Regional Medical Center continues to make significant progress in recovering from the July 9 ransomware attack on its information technology infrastructure.

“We are approximately 90% of the way through the recovery process,” said Chris Lang, CEO. “Most of our systems are back up and running.”

Cass Regional’s electronic health record (EHR) will remain offline until third-party cyber forensic experts complete their investigation. Results of the investigation thus far indicate that the virus is no longer present on the organization’s systems. Hospital leaders anticipate that the EHR will be back online within 24 to 48 hours, and indicated that Cass Regional will continue to be on ambulance diversion for trauma and stroke patients until the EHR is in use.
