BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - A computer outage is preventing Boulder Community Hospital from accessing patient records, making it difficult for people to schedule surgeries and get test results. 

The system used by the hospital to manage patient records went down in the middle of last week. 

It could take the hospital until Friday to get the computers back up.

According to the Boulder Daily Camera, hospital officials don't believe they've been hacked. 

The outage affects the hospital, its Foothills campus, eight laboratories and six imaging centers
