A spokesperson with Ascension tells us they have successfully restored access to its 'electronic health records' in one location.

"My mom is my inspiration for going into healthcare. She's a nurse as well for about 30 years," said Neisser.

"Sometimes they are reconciled wrong. Sometimes patients may be getting wrong medications, or medications may be the wrong route. Maybe oral to IV. Could be the wrong dose," said Neisser. "If a patient has been in the hospital for more than three days, the charts we're getting is about a quarter-inch thick, so we can't keep all of the paper documents, so someone is assigned to thin out the charts and take older documents.

Neisser said while he has a background of working without electronic access in hospitals, some of the newer nurses don't.
