It was around midnight on Sunday night that the staff could no longer log in to Cosmic, which is the journal system used at, among other places, Akademiska University Hospital in Uppsala.

There are problems with logging in and no new staff can log in, but those who were logged in are still there, says Caroline Sköld, acting chief physician.

According to her, it's not just the journal system that has had problems, but several other systems within the region that have been affected.

According to Caroline Sköld, there are routines for such disruptions that the hospital is now following. This means, among other things, that lists of the patients' medications are being produced in other ways. There should be no danger to the patients.

There are ways to get around it, but it becomes incredibly much more difficult and cumbersome for the staff.

At 10:30 on Sunday, it was possible to log in again, according to UNT.
