I am in the area this hospital services. This is bad, but is a foreseeable outcome of the current situation. I have a neighbor with a degenerative kidney disease, who recently spent a week in this very hospital after an episode. The staff that are still there really want to help, and are awesome, but the Franciscan system is plagued by problems.

they got hacked, funny all our local reporting only calls out hospitals in the Seattle Area, unless you hit the Sun, who also don't report the whole story.

before the hack there were retention problems and staff shortages (on going) from pandemic fatigue that have exacerbated the problem, so now the short staff have to deal with the no computers issue and it's all falling apart. I would go to a hospital 40 min away before trying to get admitted to our ER that is 7 min away.
