Exactly what happened? Most hospitals use proprietary electronic medical record systems. These are layered constructs of different networks requiring different passwords and VPNs for their different functions. Is there an actual url that one can visit to verify this? Did the internet archive capture this in a snapshot I can see? Or is this smack that a neighboring hospital is pushing to capture market share in this era of declining reimbursements and increasing regulation?

Probably locked down the physical machines at the hospital.

That's idealistic. Usually they're giant pieces of shit.

So really the data is unaffected. Just the OS on the client machines is borked and throwing up a scare screen. If that is the case, they can 'just' reimage the machines from backups. I agree, the EMRs are repurposed shit , but honed to an incredibly complex and fine edge.
