Great writeup.

Not sure why the Epic piece is must read, though. Riddled with inaccuracies (the functionalities it critiques Epic as not having...Epic has lol), bad takes (it's specifically about Epic but all EHRs and systems of record function roughly as it describes), and sloppy writing (very clearly AI generated)

The piece is a decent version of Cunningham’s Law.

I wanted you to tell me the right answer!

I think the piece is worth reading for primarily the analysis on the gap between capex that Silicon Valley thinks should be spent on healthcare data vs. Epic.

I also realize that it’s completely intractable under current HIPAA and that Epic or hospitals aren’t doing a single thing wrong under the current framework.
