All patients in Rhineland-Palatinate's largest hospital, including 54 intensive care patients, could be cared for, a spokeswoman said on Friday morning. Planned interventions and non-urgent outpatient treatments would be postponed.
The serious network failure occurred around 5 a.m. and the house's crisis team was called together. All electronic network systems such as patient documentation and imaging are affected. The university medical center initially opted out of emergency treatment and is working to find the cause of the failure.
