JPS Health Network Restores Systems After Cyberattack

JPS Health Network has announced major progress in resuming routine operations after voluntarily shutting down its network due to suspicious activity. The health system has successfully brought its core electronic health record system back online and is now accepting ambulances carrying critical patients such as those experiencing trauma, stroke, or heart attacks.

Key departments, including outpatient pharmacies, patient registration, labs, and community clinics, have returned to normal functionality. Elective procedures have also resumed, and JPS is actively working to reschedule surgeries that were postponed due to the outage.

While significant restoration has been achieved, some digital tools, such as the MyChart patient portal, remain offline but are expected to be available "soon." The outage had previously forced staff to use paper charting, divert emergency patients, and left some patients unable to refill essential medications, causing considerable disruption and uncertainty.
