  1. Epic, maker of the MyChart patient portal, has paused most product development for about six weeks to fix security flaws, CEO Judy Faulkner told Modern Healthcare, though an Epic spokesperson said its roadmap is unchanged. The flaws surfaced after Epic deployed Anthropic's Mythos model, and its chief security officer told the New York Times that some customer configurations of MyChart could let outsiders access patient records without leaving entries in the software's logs. Epic has not disclosed the bugs, no breach has been reported, and the model did not indicate whether records could be altered undetected. MyChart is used to maintain more than 320 million patient records in the United States, and Epic says healthcare providers, not Epic, hold access to the medical data.

  2. A new hospital is the one clean moment for a systems decision. No old data to move, no department already attached to its own spreadsheet.

    Once departments go live with separate tools, every later fix becomes a migration project. Before vendor selection, agree on one patient record, shared data standards, and who owns each data source.

    Get those right at the start and integration is a design choice, not a rescue mission.

    DM me if you're in planning.

  3. If a patient's history sits in four places, the hospital has four records and no record.

    Lab results, imaging, pharmacy notes, and clinic visits often live in separate systems, so clinicians work from partial information: repeat tests, missed allergies, delayed handoffs.

    First step: list every system holding patient data and flag the ones that can't talk to each other. That gap list is your roadmap.

    DM me to talk it through.

  4. Healthcare doesn't need another rigid monolith. It needs departments that stop keeping separate books.

    When staff resort to private lists and manual workarounds, data remains trapped. Rather than forcing everyone into an inflexible suite, the sustainable path is connecting tailored clinical tools to an interoperable, live data backbone.

  5. Federal Agencies Redefine IT Success with Mission-Aligned Metrics

    Federal health agencies are revolutionizing their approach to IT success, shifting focus from mere deliverables to real-life outcomes that make a tangible difference to citizens. By setting mission-aligned metrics, they're now measuring success by the problems solved and lives improved.

  7. Breaking: Three sources confirmed to @STAT that the FTC and a group of attorneys general are looking into EHR giant Epic's practices for potential antitrust action.

  8. Small medical clinics often think they are too small for hackers to notice. The reality is that a health data cloud breach at one vendor can put every clinic on their list at risk. You should always ask your software providers for their latest security audit. I wrote a full guide on protecting your practice here: gwizit.com/go/VDWvnkc

  10. It was a skit worthy of an Agatha Christie whodunit reveal: Against the perhaps-too-joyous strains of a jazzy “When The Saints Go Marching In,” a gaggle of health IT professionals and Medicare staffers accompanied a Spirit Halloween-style coffin prop onstage. The coffin read, “RIP CLIPBOARD.”

  11. Five providers, five USB keys, fully exported per the law. I still can't assemble one coherent picture of my own health.

    This is the piece in the series where the framework breaks. No self-host fix, no better vendor to move to. Just an honest look at why possession isn't sovereignty.

  13. I've Been working on a little side project the last couple weeks. If you've ever used HAPI in the Java world, you know how nice that type safety is. Moving to Python and losing that structure can be incredibly frustrating.

  14. Founder Optimism vs. Reality 📈🔍
    We love the passion of #DigitalHealth founders, but they are often "systematically optimistic" about #FDA timelines and evidence requirements.

    Our audit provides a friendly reality check for investors. We move past the pitch deck to give you independent, data-backed clarity on the true regulatory roadmap. 😊

  15. Gründer-Optimismus vs. Realität
    Gründer sind oft (zu) optimistisch, wenn es um die #FDA geht – das liegt in ihrer Natur! ✨ Doch für Investoren können unterschätzte Zeitpläne und Kosten teuer werden. 📉

    Unsere #DigitalHealthDueDiligence bringt die nötige Portion Realismus in den Deal-Prozess. 😊

  21. CareFabric: A Blueprint for Healthcare Interoperability

    The CareFabric model proposes a new approach to healthcare interoperability, emphasizing clinical coordination rather than simply integrating existing systems. It aims to address the fragmentation in healthcare information by creating a federated clinical exchange where government plays a role as a trust tracker rather than a central data holder. This model preserves organizational autonomy while enabling selective data exchange and robust governance. The architecture incorporates a national control plane and a federated data plane, ensuring secure real-time communication. CareFabric emphasizes the importance of patient identity, metadata management, and AI governance to enhance operational efficacy while keeping financial processes out of scope.

  22. NEW: ASTP/ONC is going back to just "ONC." The name change also comes with a re-organization.

  23. Toot 2 (The Problem): The numbers: 281 non-compliant contracts inherited in 2021. Still 53 operating outside regulations in late 2025. December 2025: a £15k contract discovered to have bypassed procurement rules.
    Before you can modernize, you have to clean up. That takes time. It explains why the Manx Care Record is moving glacially.

  31. Hello #Fediverse! Looks like I’m an #introduction away from joining the conversation so here goes!

    I lead data teams for a healthcare system in New Mexico. My healthcare path started in acute care nursing before moving into #Informatics. These days, I’m deep into #Python, #Airflow, and #LLMs. I also love #Soccer (#Football), #Sailing, and doing anything my kids let me tag along for.

    Looking to connect on #HealthIT, #DataEngineering, and #DataScience or just chat about other interests.

  32. BREAKING: Epic sues a health information network over 300,000 patient records accessed illegally by what Epic calls "organized syndicates" of bad actors who are allegedly profiting off of selling medical records

  35. HTI-5 does a lot of things, but one of them is repealing the requirement that EHR developers submit "model cards" for AI model transparency. Read more in @STAT from Casey Ross.

    My big question: Will the health AI community, which enthusiastically supported the (as yet unreleased) CHAI model card registry, continue to contribute cards and update the information when they're not regulatorily required to?
