Shortly before 10 a.m. this Wednesday morning, MontLégia suffered computer problems, which have since had repercussions on the operation of several services.
“We do indeed have a small IT problem, confirms Catherine Marissiaux, the CHC’s communications director. There were delays in the program that manages computerized patient records. But a priori, it is not a cyberattack, rather technical problems. »
All the teams are therefore on deck to try to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. But, when in doubt, precautions are taken. “All services are impacted, but not in the same way. The first reflex, however, is to avoid bringing in new patients, underlines the director of communication. It is therefore a question of putting emergencies in code red. Clearly, to divert patients to the emergencies of other hospitals, which have obviously been warned. Which has already been done, at least in part.
However, the technical teams are already hard at work. This gives hope for a recovery of the situation in the coming hours.
