Northern Health has posted a notice to its website and social media platforms informing the public that they are being impacted by the Microsoft disruption.
Here is their statement:
The B.C. health system has been impacted by the global Crowdstrike disruption, which is impacting our networks and computers across all systems. Our primary concern is the continuity and quality of patient care. We have implemented contingency plans to ensure that our health care services remain operational, and that patient care is not disrupted to the best of our ability. Please refer to northernhealth.ca for updates. If you have any questions on a health care appointment today, please call your health care providers. Please do not call hospital switchboard at this time.
A Northern Health spokesperson could not offer My PG Now any more information at this time.
The cyber-security firm, Crowdstrike, rolled out a Microsoft software update last evening that contained an error.
The firm is currently rolling back that update.
Airlines, airports, banks, media companies, shipping ports, and other services around the world are also experiencing similar issues.
