  • Apparently all of EPIC was down for the whole country.

    Health plan cyber threat intelligence chiming in—I couldn’t verify this claim. Epic’s EHR was unaffected unless the provider/hospital’s connection was handled by an affected Stryker “network bridge” (quotes because I’m not totally certain of the architecture here).

    EDIT: But this was the first I heard of Epic being impacted, which is valuable intel. Thank you, and hope you feel better!

    EDIT 2: Best I can tell, Stryker’s relationship to Epic is that it’s a data source for a few things that may be relayed to Epic, not any kind of network backbone. Stryker supports a lot of surgical equipment, so maybe that’s why folks like you getting a procedure are being paper charted.
