[naviga:h3]Health system says services restored[/naviga:h3]

MOON TOWNSHIP — A health network that fell victim to a worldwide cyberattack last week said that all acute, ambulatory and ancillary care services have been restored at its medical neighborhoods and satellite community locations.

Heritage Valley Health System made the announcement Monday. The cyberattack affected the entire health system on June 27.

The health system said there was a lack of access to computer systems following the cyberattack. But it said Heritage Valley Sewickley and Heritage Valley Beaver Hospitals, Heritage Valley Medical Group, Heritage Valley Pediatrics and Tri-State Obstetrics & Gynecology physician practices, ConvenientCare walk-in clinics and all other community locations had stayed open and operational.

It said the only operational interruptions were with lab and diagnostic imaging services at community locations but those are fully functional now.

Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer wrote in Monday’s decision that an audit is allowable if it’s necessary to determine whether the money from the fee is being used in line with the grant agreement.

But Jubelirer notes that the Harrisburg-based agency, Real Alternatives, already said that it isn’t using the money in accordance with the grant agreement, and Real Alternatives argues it isn’t required to.
