Computer system and network down at Ålesund hospital – news Møre og Romsdal – Local news, TV and radio

All networks are down at Ålesund Hospital, which has implemented emergency procedures and crisis staff. – The power problem that has led to network failure. The matter will be worked on, says communications advisor Hege Hegle. In an update at 22.23 Helse Møre og Romsdal writes that it is currently unknown what the cause is. This has consequences for internal communication and the notification system. That is why they have established green preparedness and have put in extra resources to deal with the incident. This also applies outdoors where they have access to the internet. They have procedures for such occasions where the IT system fails. “These have been implemented to ensure that operations can continue as normal as tomorrow and that patient safety is safeguarded,” the health authority wrote in an e-mail. The latest message from those who operate the system suggests that a solution may come soon. – The hospital runs on backup power until the fault is resolved, says communications director May Helen Molvær-Grimstad. Hegle tells Sunnmørsposten that it is very rare that this kind of thing happens on this scale, and it has not happened in the eight years she has worked there.
