An early-morning cyberattack compromised University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) information systems, knocking multiple IT systems offline and cutting off access to the Epic electronic medical records platform. The outage forced closure of all 35 UMMC clinics across the state and cancellation of outpatient appointments. Some staff were sent home because critical systems were inaccessible, and the medical records system remained down. The Jackson-based health system experienced widespread disruption of routine clinical operations and electronic workflows, preventing normal access to patient records and prompting emergency measures to manage care without digital systems.
