KANSAS CITY —Liberty Hospital, 2525 Glenn Hendren Drive, Liberty, Mo.,continues to investigate the disruption to their computer systems that began December 18.
On Tuesday, the hospital web site reported third-party specialists were still assisting with investigating the nature and scope of the disruption. "While we expect the process to take time, we are making progress." This is similar to the message the hospital reported a week ago.
The emergency department at Liberty Hospital is open to ambulances. It has remained open to walk-in patients. A call to the hospital emergency room Dec. 26, reported they were seeing patients and doing some radiology. Last week the ER sent those who needed an x-ray, CT or ultrasound elsewhere.
Phone systems at the hospital clinics were fully operational. The hospital reported they continue to perform surgeries in main operating rooms and outpatient surgery center as well as the Birthing Center. All clinics were treating patients.
The hospital has not reported they transferred any additional patients to other facilities since Tuesday when the Kansas City Fire Department, along with the other strike team Ambulances, transported approximately 30 patients, according to KCFD Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins. Liberty EMS also transported an additional 10 to 15 patients.
