Kettering Health fully restores emergency operations after cyberattack
All Kettering Health emergency departments are now fully operational following a cyberattack that took its systems offline, according to a statement from the Dayton-based hospital group's website. John Weimer, Kettering Health senior vice president and leader for incident command, said in a statement that emergency rooms at Kettering Health locations are now accepting both walk-in patients and those transported by first responders. 'This is another great milestone in our recovery process. Our teams have worked incredibly hard to bring imaging up, so we could end diversion in our emergency departments,' Weimer said. The hospital group confirmed May 20 it was experiencing a cybersecurity attack due to unauthorized access to its network, according to a statement on Kettering Health's website. Kettering Health first announced it was experiencing a system-wide technology outage around 10:30 a.m. that morning, limiting its ability to access "certain patient care systems" across the organization. All elective inpatient and outpatient procedures at its facilities were canceled. Since the initial outage on May 20, teams across Kettering Health continue to restore all technology systems in the aftermath of unauthorized access that caused the cyberattack, according to their website. 'We're incredibly grateful to our community partners," Weimer said. "Especially GDAHA and Premier Health, for their support and to our own caregivers and staff who continue to develop temporary measures to boost our recovery and return to normal procedures."

Kettering Health cyberattack shuts down all systems, patients receiving scam calls
Kettering Health patients are receiving scam calls following a cyberattack that has taken its systems offline. The Dayton-based hospital group and Cincinnati Bengals' official health care provider confirmed May 20 it is experiencing a cybersecurity attack due to unauthorized access to its network, according to a statement on Kettering Health's website. The group first announced it was experiencing a system-wide technology outage around 10:30 a.m., limiting its ability to access "certain patient care systems" across the organization. All elective inpatient and outpatient procedures at its facilities were canceled for the day. By about 11 a.m., Kettering Health confirmed it was a cyberattack. As the day continued, patients began reporting scam calls from persons claiming to be Kettering Health team members, requesting credit card payments for medical expenses. The hospital group said it has not been established whether the scam calls are connected to the system-wide technology outage. "While it is customary for Kettering Health to contact patients by phone to discuss payment options for medical bills, out of an abundance of caution, we will not be making calls to ask for or receive payment over the phone until further notice," the company said in a statement. Patients are encouraged to report scam calls to local law enforcement. As of 7 p.m., Kettering Health's systems were still offline. The hospital said emergency rooms and clinics remain open to patients. Kettering Health has not confirmed whether patient information has been compromised as a result of the cyberattack. The Enquirer has reached out to the hospital group for more information. This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Kettering Health cyberattack has shut down systems, disrupted care
