KANSAS CITY —Liberty Hospital, 2525 Glenn Hendren Drive, Liberty, Mo.,continues to experience a disruption to their computer systems that began Monday..
On Friday, the hospital emergency room reported they were accepting patients that did not require radiology. Those who needed an x-ray, CT or ultrasound would be sent elsewhere.
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.
Hospital officials continue to actively investigate the source of the disruption. "Patient safety and care are our utmost priority, as well as getting our systems back online safely. We expect this process to take time. Our primary and specialty care clinics continue to see certain patients, and are reaching out to reschedule others as needed."
The hospital primary and specialty care clinics are contacting patients who have appointments scheduled to determine next steps.
