I apologize if this has been posted and perhaps no one cares


Posted: Jun 19, 2017

I am likely late to the party but found it interesting (!) that the founder of Epic was also a significant donor to Obama.  Judy Faulkner.  I do not believe the sky is falling but I am a bit nervous that our medical records are being collected and stored by a hardcore liberal who backed Obama.  Like I said, maybe this is well known and I'm just a late bloomer and maybe no one cares and that's OK.

Why do you find this significant? What are you afraid of? - did this bother you?

Feb. 2005 -- President Bush on Wednesday evening renewed his call for the use of better technology in hospitals and in doctor's offices for storing and sharing medical records.
Using the high visibility of his State of the Union address, Bush said he will ask Congress to enact sweeping health care reforms, including "improved information technology to prevent medical error and needless costs."

Also in his speech, Bush asked Congress to approve politically controversial legislation such as tax code simplification and Social Security reform, and he vowed his budget for the 2006 fiscal year will include funding for "leading-edge technology," including clean coal, ethanol and hydrogen-fueled cars.

Wednesday night was not the first time that Bush has talked about electronic medical records. The president devoted a speech to it last week in Cleveland, in which he said: "Most industries in America have used information technology to make their businesses more cost-effective, more efficient and more productive, and the truth of the matter is, health care hadn't."

A White House memorandum released at the same time as the Cleveland speech said that Bush will ask Congress for $125 million for demonstration projects and promote "uniform health information standards" to allow a patient's medical information to be shared among health care workers. Computerization is necessary, the memo argued, because information about a patient is often scattered in many different places and unavailable in an emergency.

Not afraid, nervous perhaps, and uneducated definitely - anon

I honestly haven't done much research into Epic and appreciate your input.

It does make me uneasy that the government and Epic has ready access to comprehensive medical records. Although, I guess with so many posting their lives on social media, my unease is probably unfounded.

Have you heard of HIPAA? - sm
