Today was not a security or cyber incident. Our customers remain fully protected.

We understand the gravity of the situation and are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and disruption. We are working with all impacted customers to ensure that systems are back up and they can deliver the services their customers are counting on.

As noted earlier, the issue has been identified and a fix has been deployed. There was an issue with a Falcon content update for Windows Hosts.

For the latest information that we will continuously update, please refer to the CrowdStrike website (https://t.co/oTrsi3fNPb), my posts on LinkedIn, and my posts on X.  I will continue to provide updates to our community and the industry as they become available.

[Damien Yeo @drdamoeyes]

Today, we said goodbye to Harry Sutton, the programme manager in our digital transformation journey @idigitalnhs 🥹

He has helped coordinate our @AHOphthalmology journey from scanned handwritten notes 🫣 to Medisight the EPR as well as its integration with Meditech. 🖥

Today, as a farewell present, I summarised for him the digital enhancements we've made to our patient workflow since day 1. It was quite an opportunity to reflect on the progress so far...

Thank you Harry for all your help and good luck in your new role!

A crucial part of @LHCHFT's digital journey and achieving the highest level of accreditation by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society was the roll out of CLMA within Sunrise KBMA. https://t.co/oBbk3DnBFC

[Altera Digital Health UK @AlteraDH_UK]

��� Exciting update from our Sunrise EPR client Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital! They've just joined the prestigious ranks of hospitals worldwide by successfully validating against the HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 standards. https://t.co/FoYXZt9tB4

[Andy Hirrell @AHirrell]

Alerts for the sake of alerts don’t work! Alerts should require action or response. Finding the difference between Alerts and notification is important! Less is more, frequent alerts lead to fatigue. Our Digital User Group @LHCHFT is crucial for this type of thing.

[Helen Balsdon RN @HelenBalsdon1]

How do you manage alerts in an EPR?

This was a question I recently asked our Digital Nursing Community, and would welcome wider views from X users.

What key principles do you recommend to address 'alert fatigue?'
