Epic vs Particle: EHR Monopoly May the Most Annoying Win
Epic Systems, the electronic health record (EHR) overlord of American healthcare, is now accused of wielding its colossal monopoly power like a caffeine-deprived giant hurling lawyers to push out Particle Health, an up-and-coming startup trying to nibble some turf in the booming health data exchange empire. Despite Epicās 2023 reign over countless hospitalsā digital souls, Particle claimed Epic blocked them from the party where health records dance. The drama unfolds amid the subtle art of needle-moving litigation, reminding us all that in tech healthcare, you not only share data, you also share lawsuits. Nothing says innovation like monopolistic elbow jabs!
