BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Those worldwide tech outages also impacted some of the systems at the UVM Health Network.
They say emergency departments at their facilities are open, and anyone experiencing an emergency should seek care at the hospital.
UVM Health says some appointments may be delayed due to the outages, but unless patients hear otherwise from their providers, they should arrive as planned for scheduled procedures and appointments.
However, at noontime, they said there are some exceptions:
- UVM Medical Center (Burlington, Vt.): Outpatient phlebotomy is unable to accept patients today, and unable to contact patients with appointments. Patients will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
- UVM Medical Center dental clinic is offline and all patients have been canceled for the day.
- Porter Medical Center (Middlebury, Vt.): Phones at certain primary care clinics are not working properly, so patients may have trouble getting through. However, patients with scheduled primary care appointments should arrive as planned unless contacted by their provider.
- Central Vermont Medical Center (Berlin, Vt.): Outpatient phlebotomy: Patients should not seek phlebotomy appointments today, and those with appointments will be rescheduled as soon as possible. Radiology is also currently not able to take patients, but expects to be functional by 1 pm.
- Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (Plattsburgh, N.Y.): Some physicians’ offices are experiencing issues with their phone system, but patients should go to appointments as scheduled today.
