This is why most U.S. Hospitals, U.S. Government, U.S. Military DO NOT use the current Microsoft Windows Operating System. New Operating Systems (including Apple Operating Systems) routinely are "Full of Holes" that are easily Exploited. The Computer Term to cover over these holes to gain access to the computer is "Patches" (Updates).
And instead use a more stable proved "Old" Microsoft Windows Server, and "Firmware" not "Software" Microsoft Operating Systems on each computer located in a hospital room. Most of the "Old" Operating Systems have after years finally "Patched" over all the Exploitable Holes.
In addition to the current problem of Direct Computer Attacks, there are Indirect Attacks as most users do not realize that their "Smartphones", "iPhones", are actually Micro Hand Held Computers with actual "Software" Operating Systems, that can become "Hacked" with their Users then going around spreading a Virus, Spyware, Malware from "Smartphone", "iPhone", to Computers.
Most will Deny, Deny, Deny, this is easily proved by the Question, How many of you have an Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, Anti Malware on your "Smartphone", "iPhone" as once upon a time ago realizing what was happening the Major Anti Virus, Anti Malware, Anti Spyware Corporations had "Smartphone", "iPhone" Anti Viruses, Anti Malware, Anti Spyware that costs between $39.99 to almost $100.00 per each "Smartphone", "iPhone". Other Proof, one of the only actually Secure from Viruses, Malware, Spyware, was "the Blackberry" as to why most of the High Level U.S. Government Officials used "Blackberrys" like the President of the United States of America as the Corporation that created the "Blackberry" spent lots of Money and Time to insure that their products did not have Viruses, Malware, Spyware and actually guaranteed that.
"Hackers" like Users that use "Smartphones","iPhones" because they believe that this is "Secure" and store lots of very important information, data on their "Smartphone", "iPhone" like passwords, combinations, Bank Accounts, telephone numbers, personal information, credit card information, even information that they would be extremely embarrassed if revealed (so embarrassed that they will pay). Credit Card scammers used to have to have devices that would transmit a signal with a Credit Card then sending a response signal for the Credit Card Scammers to then obtain your Credit Card information so that they could Illegally use your Credit Card, this is no longer necessary as the easily hackable "Smartphones", and "iPhones" now have an "Electronic Credit Card" App (Application, hackable Software).
Most important Computers are "Geographically" isolated, in that they are NOT connected to the Internet, nor is the Local Area Network connected to the Internet. Computers that are NOT connected to the Local Area Network are sometimes connected to the Internet, as are their "Front End Servers".
"Cloud Based" Medical Devices, not very smart using a "Cloud" for much of anything, as you are 100 percent relying on how secure the Systems Administrator of the Cloud (Servers) made the Cloud (Servers), as "Too Secure" also slows down access speeds, "Adequately Secure" means still open to Attacks.
The next new means to spread Viruses, Malware, Spyware, Root Kits in order to hack important Computers is other Computers (Laptops, Pads, Books, Notebooks, Tablets and more) that use "Cloud Based" Operating Systems, as by hacking the Cloud a single Hacker can gain access to any or all Computers that must access that Cloud to even start up.
