The following statement was issued at 11 a.m. June 19 by the Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA)
The MHA is aware of the global IT issue that occurred overnight with a major technology vendor that is now affecting multiple sectors, including healthcare.
The issue was reportedly caused by a software update error and is not believed to be a cybersecurity incident. The association is aware that some Michigan hospitals and health systems are impacted but cannot confirm which, or to what extent, individual facilities have been affected.
The MHA encourages patients to visit their hospital or healthcare provider’s website, social media pages, patient portal or use appropriate phone contact information to understand whether your scheduled care or appointments are impacted.
Members with questions may contact the MHA.
