Ocean Service Degradation August 16, 2023 [RESOLVED]

[2:50pm August 17, 2023 EST] We are aware of an issue that affected Ocean yesterday, August 16th between 1:26pm and 1:31pm EST. Some users of the Ocean portal may have seen intermittent errors throughout this 5 minute period. We are investigating and will update this announcement as more information becomes available.

[9:00am August 18th, 2023 EST] We are continuing to investigate this issue.

[10:00pm August 18th, 2023 EST] We identified a bug in one of Ocean's built-in reports and deployed a fix tonight. We're continuing to monitor Ocean closely.

Please email us at support@oceanmd.com if you have any additional questions. 

Ocean Sevice Interruption - August 3rd, 2023 [Resolved]

[9:08 AM] We are currently experiencing an issue affecting Cloud Connect. We are investigating and will update this announcement as further information becomes available. 

[10:15 AM] Telus has confirmed that there is an widespread issue with the TELUS API, which is impacting services including Ocean. The resulting load on the Ocean system due to the error retries is causing intermittent issues across Ocean, so even non-TELUS clients may experience occasional errors. We will continue to update this article on our mitigation efforts.

[10:43 AM] We are no longer seeing the error from TELUS, and the backlog of error retries in queue is slowly reducing. Ocean retained actions taken by users during the issue and will process them as the issue resolves, and activities that required real-time responses from the EMR (Online Booking, Kiosk check-ins, etc.) will begin to work again. The recovery may take a number of hours due to the number of errors across the Ocean system but all notes should eventually find their way into the respective charts.

[3:45 PM] TELUS has resolved the issue and Ocean has completed processing all of the delayed actions.  Activities that require real-time responses from the EMR (Online Booking, Kiosk check-ins, etc.) should all be functioning as normal and all notes should now have been imported into the respective charts.   

If you are still experiencing any issues, please submit a service request ticket at ocean.tips/support

Until this is corrected, some patients may receive two separate reminders SMS messages, with the message broken at an arbitrary point. This may result in broken appointment confirmation links. We are aware that this is impacting delivery of SMS messages to many wireless providers on the Rogers Communications network, but it may be impacting others as well. We will continue to monitor the issue.
