- Summary:
- How is it possible for proprietary AI models to enter patient care, without extensive peer reviews for algorithmic transparency? That's a question we should be asking about Epic's Deterioration Index, which has been utilized for several use cases, including COVID-19 patient risk models.
The conversation about machine learning development largely centers on how individual organizations proceed - and whether they use adequate data, methods, algorithms, transparency, and a process that guarantees models do not go into production until they are tested and vetted.
At the other end of the spectrum are AI models developed by Google and Facebook that are completely opaque, which is a different problem. But a third level between the two doesn't get the scrutiny it should - custom models developed by a third party, and given as an "enhancement" to existing licensees.
Epic Systems Corporation, or Epic, is a privately held healthcare software company. According to the company, hospitals that use its software held medical records of 54% of patients in the United States and 2.5% of patients worldwide in 2015. In terms of market share, as per Wikipedia, Epic holds 31% of the US EHR (Electronic Health Records) share for acute care hospitals, ahead of all others, including Cerner at 25% (as of May 2020). More than 250 million patients' have electronic records in Epic.
Epic celebrated its 40th anniversary in March 2019. It had around 10,000 employees globally and generated about $2.9 billion in annual revenue. The company reports 40 percent of operating expenses are invested in research and development.
Founder and CEO of Epic Judy Faulkner unveiled a new data research initiative and software during the Epic User Group annual meeting on Aug. 27 2020. She highlighted the Cosmos program, which is designed to mine data from millions of patient medical records to improve research into treatments. The program gathers de-identified patient data from 8 million patients at nine health systems, and 31 more organizations have signed on to participate. The company also announced new products focused on letting physicians write shorter notes and voice recognition software.

What could possibly go worng:)
How? Easy, it’s less work if the doctors and staff just respond to a black box that tells them what to do.
EPIC has been around and used in many hospitals for at least a decade and a half.
“Updates” to a system are not going to be examined in any great detail.
You could hire most anything in there and no one would question it
Not really. Doctors and nurses are still responsible for their own license. Hence you will get people questioning orders
How? Because the prior medical record/pharmacy software sucked...”Meditech” in the case of my RN wife’s hospital. Not rocket science.

It just opened the pod bay doors and went in by itself?
I wonder how many ICU patients have "mysteriously" flatlined since the AI seized control?

Oracle is buying Cerner for $28 billion.
Larry Ellison of Oracle is the only Big Tech billionaire, other than Peter Thiel, who is pro-Trump.
Sets up an interesting battle ahead.

All part of implementing the one world system, ala the end times.
Bump for later reading...
That was my thought.
I am trusting hospitals and doctors less and less, oh and pharma, too.
I was curious too, but she was born a woman apparently, poor thing.
