"We are pleased to announce that effective today (June 25) at 7 a.m., our UF Health information technology team was able to successfully restore our electronic medical record system, representing a major milestone in our journey toward full return to normal network operations," UF Health Central Florida said in a news release Friday.
Workers at the hospital system, which includes other outpatient facilities and clinics, detected unusual computer activity on May 31, describing it to outsiders as a "cybersecurity event." The situation has not been elaborated further.
UF Health at that time said that it wasn't aware of any patient or personnel records that had been compromised. Its news release Friday did not provide an update on that statement.
"Over the past few weeks, our main priority has been to continue delivering high-quality treatment and compassionate care to thousands of patients at UF Health Central Florida facilities," it said in the news release, and the restoration of its electronic medical records system is a step in the right direction to returning to normal operations.
The investigation into the cyberattack is ongoing and any updates can be found at Iris.
