They can operate, just slower. Life threatening gets priority, the rest are diverted to nearby hospitals.

Think of when your gps shuts down. You can navigate by paper map, just slower and you need to pay more attention to avoid mistakes.

This also doesn’t just happen and is apparent. They probably spent way too much time trying to fix the problem before diverting to older ways while the problem is being diagnosed and fixed.

Some hospital networks just continue to operate slower to the detriment of their patients and just lie to everyone so that nobody finds out they were hacked.
