On Monday, McLaren Health Care shared that its information technology platforms are restored, and the health system’s clinical and administrative operations are fully functional across Michigan following a cyberattack earlier this month. The restoration process, which was expected to last until the end of the month, was completed ahead of schedule. With this return to normal operations, all temporary procedures enacted during the disruption have been lifted. Providers at all McLaren Health Care hospitals, Karmanos cancer centers, and outpatient clinics again have access to patients’ electronic medical records.
