A cyberattack on Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago has caused a week-long outage, affecting email, phones, and electronic systems. Despite the difficulties in accessing medical records and prescription history, the hospital remains operational, but emergency admissions are not directly affected. Meanwhile, Ardent Health Services, a Tennessee-based company, faced cyberattacks that disrupted ambulances in various states. The Department of Health and Human Services has announced plans to enhance funding for rural hospitals and impose stricter fines for security lapses at healthcare providers.
