Lurie Children’s Hospital has started to reactivate its MyChart online patient portal, more than a month after falling victim to a cyberattack.
Lurie warned that patients may experience some disruptions when using MyChart because of “anticipated high volume of MyChart activity.” Lurie is also working to update MyChart with information collected over the last month-and-a-half while MyChart was down. Lurie opened a call center after the cyberattack, and the FBI previously confirmed to the Tribune that it was assisting with an investigation into the incident.
