If I weren’t retired from my former, longtime place of employment, I would be keeping a close watch on the government’s Healthcare Information Technology site. Maybe I should do that anyway, considering the possibility that RFK, Jr. will have control of the Dept. of HHS.
There’s skuttlebutt that this Texas organization of small and rural hospitals wants to negotiate as a single entity with Epic Systems.
Community hospitals and critical access hospitals are the one remaining American market for software that Epic doesn’t dominate. Or, should I say, doesn’t yet dominate.
Epic manages up to 80% of non-military American medical records. If Epic makes a significant gain into the remaining 20%, that will squeeze out my former employer, which has been struggling to regain its footing for almost fifteen years, since the HITECH Act within ARRA went into effect. It’s a bitter irony that Epic runs on software technology created by my former employer, and Epic was a customer of ours during its formative years.
Well, not a rival. You were Tom V.’s practice round before his date with Sweet Caroline.
Did you see my dating rival ream out her hypocritical, Trump-brained cousin in that video? She was magnificent!
