At the same time, neither does the hospital in that case. I think if your infrastructure is shut down by hackers you have a moral obligation to inform your patients (or potential patients) about what's going on. They should be legally obligated to disclose this information.

That exacerbated what was going on and caused more harm. If I was the patient and the hospital was forced to inform me that my care might be degraded because of the hack, I'd have nope'd it out of there to another hospital.
