Regional special health care management (RSSL), which has been in staff mode since Tuesday last week due to the cyber attack against Sophiahemmet, was terminated on the morning of Tuesday, March 5.
Last week, Region Stockholm took security-related protective measures due to a cyber attack against Sophiahemmet which was a ransomware attack. This meant, among other things, that some care providers at Sophiahemmet’s hospital area had to switch to manual routines and did not have access to Region Stockholm’s record system.
Region Stockholm and Sophiahemmet have had a close collaboration to investigate and restore the IT environment at Sophiahemmet after the cyber attack.
Region Stockholm has now reconnected almost all healthcare providers in the Sophiahemmet hospital area. This means that they can once again work according to regular routines. There is thus no longer any need to coordinate efforts at regional level and any remaining work can continue within the respective organization, which is why RSSL is terminated.
There is nothing to indicate operational disruptions in the Stockholm Region as a result of the incident.
Facts standby modes:
The special healthcare managements can make decisions about in which
standby mode the crisis management must be in. The three standby modes are staff mode, reinforcement mode and disaster mode.
Staff mode
Emergency mode, which means that a special healthcare management stays informed about the situation, takes the necessary measures and follows the development of events.
Boost mode
Emergency mode, which means that a special healthcare management takes measures to strengthen certain important functions.
Disaster mode
Emergency mode, which means that a special healthcare management takes measures to strengthen all important functions.
