Epic Systems, a lethal health record monopolist

Epic Systems makes the dominant electronic health record (EHR) system in America; if you're a doctor, chances are you are required to use it, and for every hour a doctor spends with a patient, they have to spend two hours doing clinically useless bureaucratic data-entry on an Epic EHR.

How could a product so manifestly unfit for purpose be the absolute market leader? Simple: as Robert Kuttner describes in an excellent feature in The American Prospect, Epic may be a clinical disaster, but it's a profit-generating miracle:

https://prospect.org/health/2024-10-01-epic-dystopia/

At the core of Epic's value proposition is "upcoding," a form of billing fraud that is beloved of hospital administrators, including the "nonprofit" hospitals that generate vast fortunes that are somehow not characterized as profits. Here's a particularly egregious form of upcoding: back in 2020, the Poudre Valley Hospital in Ft Collins, CO locked all its doors except the ER entrance. Every patient entering the hospital, including those receiving absolutely routine care, was therefore processed as an "emergency."

In April 2020, Caitlin Wells Salerno – a pregnant biologist – drove to Poudre Valley with normal labor pains. She walked herself up to obstetrics, declining the offer of a wheelchair, stopping only to snap a cheeky selfie. Nevertheless, the hospital recorded her normal, uncomplicated birth as a Level 5 emergency – comparable to a major heart-attack – and whacked her with a $2755 bill for emergency care:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/27/crossing-a-line/#zero-fucks-given

Upcoding has its origins in the Reagan revolution, when the market-worshipping cultists he'd put in charge of health care created the "Prospective Payment System," which paid a lump sum for care. The idea was to incentivize hospitals to provide efficient care, since they could keep the difference between whatever they spent getting you better and the set PPS amount that Medicare would reimburse them. Hospitals responded by inventing upcoding: a patient with controlled, long-term coronary disease who showed up with a broken leg would get coded for the coronary condition and the cast, and the hospital would pocket both lump sums:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/06/13/a-punch-in-the-guts/#hayek-pilled

The reason hospital administrators love Epic, and pay gigantic sums for systemwide software licenses, is directly connected to the two hours that doctors spent filling in Epic forms for every hour they spend treating patients. Epic collects all that extra information in order to identify potential sources of plausible upcodes, which allows hospitals to bill patients, insurers, and Medicare through the nose for routine care. Epic can automatically recode "diabetes with no complications" from a Hierarchical Condition Category code 19 (worth $894.40) as "diabetes with kidney failure," code 18 and 136, which gooses the reimbursement to $1273.60.

Epic snitches on doctors to their bosses, giving them a dashboard to track doctors' compliance with upcoding suggestions. One of Kuttner's doctor sources says her supervisor contacts her with questions like, "That appointment was a 2. Don’t you think it might be a 3?"

Robert Kuttner is the perfect journalist to unravel the Epic scam. As a journalist who wrote for The New England Journal of Medicine, he's got an insider's knowledge of the health industry, and plenty of sources among health professionals. As he tells it, Epic is a cultlike, insular company that employs 12.500 people in its hometown of Verona, WI.

The EHR industry's origins start with a GW Bush-era law called the HITECH Act, which was later folded into Obama's Recovery Act in 2009. Obama provided $27b to hospitals that installed EHR systems. These systems had to more than track patient outcomes – they also provided the data for pay-for-performance incentives. EHRs were already trying to do something very complicated – track health outcomes – but now they were also meant to underpin a cockamamie "incentives" program that was supposed to provide a carrot to the health industry so it would stop killing people and ripping off Medicare. EHRs devolved into obscenely complex spaghetti systems that doctors and nurses loathed on sight.

But there was one group that loved EHRs: hospital administrators and the private companies offering Medicare Advantage plans (which also benefited from upcoding patients in order to soak Uncle Sucker):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8649706/

The spread of EHRs neatly tracks with a spike in upcharging: "from 2014 through 2019, the number of hospital stays billed at the highest severity level increased almost 20 percent…the number of stays billed at each of the other severity levels decreased":

https://oig.hhs.gov/oei/reports/OEI-02-18-00380.pdf

The purpose of a system is what it does. Epic's industry-dominating EHR is great at price-gouging, but it sucks as a clinical tool – it takes 18 keystrokes just to enter a prescription:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2729481

Doctors need to see patients, but their bosses demand that they satisfy Epic's endless red tape. Doctors now routinely stay late after work and show up hours early, just to do paperwork. It's not enough. According to another one of Kuttner's sources, doctors routinely copy-and-paste earlier entries into the current one, a practice that generates rampant errors. Some just make up random numbers to fulfill Epic's nonsensical requirements: the same source told Kuttner that when prompted to enter a pain score for his TB patients, he just enters "zero."

Don't worry, Epic has a solution: AI. They've rolled out an "ambient listening" tool that attempts to transcribe everything the doctor and patient say during an exam and then bash it into a visit report. Not only is this prone to the customary mistakes that make AI unsuited to high-stakes, error-sensitive applications, it also represents a profound misunderstanding of the purpose of clinical notes.

The very exercise of organizing your thoughts and reflections about an event – such as a medical exam – into a coherent report makes you apply rigor and perspective to events that otherwise arrive as a series of fleeting impressions and reactions. That's why blogging is such an effective practice:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/09/the-memex-method/

The answer to doctors not having time to reflect and organize good notes is to give them more time – not more AI. As another doctor told Kuttner: "Ambient listening is a solution to a self-created problem of requiring too much data entry by clinicians."

EHRs are one of those especially hellish public-private partnerships. Health care doctrine from Reagan to Obama insisted that the system just needed to be exposed to market forces and incentives. EHRs are designed to allow hospitals to win as many of these incentives as possible. Epic's clinical care modules do this by bombarding doctors with low-quality diagnostic suggestions with "little to do with a patient’s actual condition and risks," leading to "alert fatigue," so doctors miss the important alerts in the storm of nonsense elbow-jostling:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5058605/

Clinicians who actually want to improve the quality of care in their facilities end up recording data manually and keying it into spreadsheets, because they can't get Epic to give them the data they need. Meanwhile, an army of high-priced consultants stand ready to give clinicians advise on getting Epic to do what they need, but can't seem to deliver.

Ironically, one of the benefits that Epic touts is its interoperability: hospitals that buy Epic systems can interconnect those with other Epic systems, and there's a large ecosystem of aftermarket add-ons that work with Epic. But Epic is a product, not a protocol, so its much-touted interop exists entirely on its terms, and at its sufferance. If Epic chooses, a doctor using its products can send files to a doctor using a rival product. But Epic can also veto that activity – and its veto extends to deciding whether a hospital can export their patient records to a competing service and get off Epic altogether.

One major selling point for Epic is its capacity to export "anonymized" data for medical research. Very large patient data-sets like Epic's are reasonably believed to contain many potential medical insights, so medical researchers are very excited at the prospect of interrogating that data.

But Epic's approach – anonymizing files containing the most sensitive information imaginable, about millions of people, and then releasing them to third parties – is a nightmare. "De-identified" data-sets are notoriously vulnerable to "re-identification" and the threat of re-identification only increases every time there's another release or breach, which can used to reveal the identities of people in anonymized records. For example, if you have a database of all the prescribing at a given hospital – a numeric identifier representing the patient, and the time and date when they saw a doctor and got a scrip. At any time in the future, a big location-data breach – say, from Uber or a transit system – can show you which people went back and forth to the hospital at the times that line up with those doctor's appointments, unmasking the person who got abortion meds, cancer meds, psychiatric meds or other sensitive prescriptions.

The fact that anonymized data can – will! – be re-identified doesn't mean we have to give up on the prospect of gleaning insight from medical records. In the UK, the eminent doctor Ben Goldacre and colleagues built an incredible effective, privacy-preserving "trusted research environment" (TRE) to operate on millions of NHS records across a decentralized system of hospitals and trusts without ever moving the data off their own servers:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/08/the-fire-of-orodruin/#are-we-the-baddies

The TRE is an open source, transparent server that accepts complex research questions in the form of database queries. These queries are posted to a public server for peer-review and revision, and when they're ready, the TRE sends them to each of the databases where the records are held. Those databases transmit responses to the TRE, which then publishes them. This has been unimaginably successful: the prototype of the TRE launched during the lockdown generated sixty papers in Nature in a matter of months.

Monopolies are inefficient, and Epic's outmoded and dangerous approach to research, along with the roadblocks it puts in the way of clinical excellence, epitomizes the problems with monopoly. America's health care industry is a dumpster fire from top to bottom – from Medicare Advantage to hospital cartels – and allowing Epic to dominate the EHR market has somehow, incredibly, made that system even worse.

Naturally, Kuttner finishes out his article with some antitrust analysis, sketching out how the Sherman Act could be brought to bear on Epic. Something has to be done. Epic's software is one of the many reasons that MDs are leaving the medical profession in droves.

Epic epitomizes the long-standing class war between doctors who want to take care of their patients and hospital executives who want to make a buck off of those patients.

Tor Books as just published two new, free LITTLE BROTHER stories: VIGILANT, about creepy surveillance in distance education; and SPILL, about oil pipelines and indigenous landback.

Free software recommendations for various things:

LibreOffice - A full home office suite comparable to Microsoft Office. Easy to use and you can choose the UI layout from several types; it can handle docx and other Microsoft Office document formats; it still does not include AI unless you specifically add that extension on purpose, so unlike other office suites it's not shoving AI down your throat.

Calibre - Ebook manager bundled with an ebook editor and ereader software. It can follow news feeds, downloading them into epub format. Convert ebooks from one format into (many) others. Run a server to make access your books from different computers/phones/tablets easier. And so much more... without even touching on the additional functionality that plugins can add. With plugins it can be used for DRM stripping (which can still remove DRM from even Kindle ebooks, if you have a kindle that you can download the ebook to and use to transfer to your computer). It can also handle downloading fanfics and their metadata using the FanFicFare plugin. (Which I've written tutorials about.) There are officially supported plugins (like FanFicFare) that are easy to install and unofficial plugins (like the DRM stripper) that take more work, so it's extremely customizable.

Syncthing - Want to host your own local file backup system? Have an old laptop that you can reformat with a linux distro? And maybe a spare hard drive? Perfect, you have what you need to set up a home file backup system. Reformat the computer with the new operating system, install syncthing on that computer and on the computer you want to back up files for and the two installations of the software can sync over your home network. Put it on your phone and back up your photos. The software is open source, encrypted, and you can turn it off so that your computer (or phone) is only running it on a trusted network. You control where the synced data lives, which computers on your network those synced folders are shared with (allowing for sharing between multiple computers) and even what type of file backups happen if data is, say, accidentally deleted. (File recovery!!!)

Plex or Emby - Both are free to install on any computer, point at any movie/tv show/audiobook/music files you've got sitting around, and bam you've got a home media streaming server. Both have paid tiers for more features (including tv tuner integration to act as a DVR), but what they can do for free is already impressive and well handled. Both have easy to use UI and it largely comes down to personal preference as to one is better than the other.

Notepad++ - A notepad type program that can also serve as a decent lightweight code editor. I use it for noodling around with code scripts and snippets, writing lists, and various other small tasks. It's not something I'd use for my professional code writing but it's great for just messing around with something on my own time.

Astraweb: The Home of Crypto Recovery in the Digital Age

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, security and access remain critical concerns. For every success story of early adopters turning modest investments into fortunes, there are unfortunate accounts of users losing access to their digital wallets due to forgotten passwords, phishing attacks, or compromised private keys. This is where Astraweb has carved out a vital niche — establishing itself as the go-to solution for crypto asset recovery.

The Need for Crypto Recovery

Cryptocurrency promises decentralized finance and ownership without intermediaries — but this power comes with a cost: total user responsibility. There is no central authority to call when access is lost. Millions of dollars in crypto assets are estimated to be trapped in inaccessible wallets. The stakes are high, and the traditional “write your password down and hope for the best” method has proven tragically inadequate.

Astraweb has stepped in to fill this gap, offering a technically advanced, ethically grounded, and user-focused recovery service for individuals and institutions alike.

Who is Astraweb?

Astraweb is a team of cybersecurity professionals, blockchain analysts, and ethical hackers dedicated to the recovery of lost digital assets. Known in online communities for their discretion and technical excellence, Astraweb has quietly built a reputation as the “home of crypto recovery” — a safe harbor in the sometimes stormy seas of decentralized finance.

Core Services Offered

Wallet Password Recovery Utilizing a combination of brute force optimization, machine learning, and customized dictionary attacks, Astraweb helps users recover wallets with forgotten passwords. Their tools are especially effective with partially remembered credentials.

Seed Phrase Reconstruction Lost or partial seed phrases are another major barrier to wallet access. Astraweb’s proprietary tools attempt to reconstruct valid mnemonic phrases based on user input and probabilistic modeling.

Phishing and Scam Mitigation If your crypto assets have been stolen due to phishing attacks or scams, Astraweb provides investigation support and recovery options. While crypto transactions are irreversible, Astraweb works with partners and tracing tools like Chainalysis to help track and reclaim funds when possible.

Multi-Sig and Legacy Wallet Recovery Many early wallets used now-defunct software or obscure security models. Astraweb specializes in navigating old formats, deprecated standards, and rare cryptographic setups.

Cold Wallet Restoration Lost access to hardware wallets like Trezor, Ledger, or even encrypted USB drives? Astraweb can assist with forensic-level data recovery and hardware-based key extraction.

Why Astraweb Stands Out

Confidentiality First: Every case is handled with strict privacy. Your data and identity are protected at all stages of the recovery process.

Transparent Communication: Clients are updated at every step, with no vague promises or false guarantees.

No Recovery, No Fee: Astraweb operates on a results-based model. You only pay if your assets are successfully recovered.

Client Trust and Track Record

Though much of their work remains confidential due to the sensitive nature of crypto assets, Astraweb’s success stories span from everyday investors to high-net-worth individuals and even businesses affected by inaccessible wallets or theft.

Their community reputation and testimonials underscore one thing: they deliver.

Contact Astraweb

If you’ve lost access to your cryptocurrency wallet, or fallen victim to crypto fraud, don’t give up hope. Reach out to Astraweb for a professional assessment of your situation.

Email: [email protected]

Whether it’s one token or an entire portfolio, Astraweb may be your best shot at recovery.

Recover Stolen Crypto

Cryptocurrency has revolutionized the way we transact, offering decentralized and secure solutions for the modern economy. But with these benefits come risks, including the possibility of theft. Crypto theft can be devastating, leaving victims feeling powerless due to the anonymity of blockchain transactions. However, while challenging, recovering stolen crypto isn’t impossible. This guide will walk you through the steps to maximize your chances of retrieving lost funds and fortify your crypto security. Recover stolen crypto

Understanding How Crypto Theft Happens

Phishing Attacks

Phishing involves tricking users into revealing sensitive information such as private keys or wallet passwords. Scammers often impersonate legitimate platforms via fake websites or emails designed to look authentic. Once you input your details, they gain access to your wallet.

Hacking of Wallets and Exchanges

Crypto wallets and exchanges are prime targets for hackers. Weak security protocols, vulnerabilities in the platform, or user negligence can lead to unauthorized access and fund transfers.

Social Engineering Scams

These scams prey on human psychology. For instance, scammers may pose as trusted individuals or companies, convincing victims to transfer funds or disclose sensitive information.

Malware and Keyloggers

Cybercriminals use malware or keyloggers to monitor user activity. When you type your wallet credentials, the software captures and transmits the data to the attacker.

Immediate Steps to Take After Crypto Theft

Stay Calm and Act Quickly

Panic can lead to poor decisions. Assess the situation logically and act swiftly to prevent further losses.

Identify the Theft Details

Review your transaction history to determine when and how the theft occurred. Note the wallet addresses involved, the amount stolen, and the transaction ID.

Secure Remaining Funds

Transfer your remaining funds to a secure wallet. Hardware wallets or cold storage solutions are preferable as they are offline and immune to hacking.

Contacting Relevant Authorities

Reporting to Local Law Enforcement

File a report with your local authorities. While they may lack blockchain expertise, having an official record can support further recovery efforts.

Involving Cybercrime Units

Specialized cybercrime divisions can investigate the theft and collaborate with international organizations if needed.

Engaging Regulators Like SEC

In cases involving fraudulent investments, report the incident to regulatory bodies like the SEC or FCA to initiate investigations.

Notifying Crypto Platforms and Wallet Providers

How Exchanges Can Assist

Notify the exchange where the stolen funds were transacted. They may freeze suspicious accounts or provide information to investigators.

The Role of Wallet Providers

Wallet providers might help in identifying security vulnerabilities or advising on recovery steps.

Sharing Transaction Details

Provide all relevant details, including the transaction hash, wallet addresses, and any communication with the scammer.

Utilizing Blockchain Analysis Tools

How Blockchain Transparency Aids Recovery

Blockchain’s immutable ledger allows you to trace fund movements. With the right tools, you can monitor the thief’s wallet and subsequent transfers.

Popular Blockchain Analysis Tools

Platforms like Chainalysis, CipherTrace, and Elliptic specialize in tracking stolen cryptocurrency and identifying patterns.

Tracking Stolen Funds

Collaborate with professionals who use these tools to increase your chances of recovering the funds.

Hiring a Cryptocurrency Recovery Expert

Benefits of Professional Help

Experts have the technical knowledge and resources to trace transactions, liaise with platforms, and initiate recovery processes.

Vetting Recovery Agencies for Legitimacy

Ensure the agency has a proven track record. Beware of additional scams that exploit victims seeking help.

Avoiding Additional Scams

Never pay upfront fees without verifying the agency’s legitimacy. Genuine recovery services operate transparently.

Using Social Media and Community Networks

Engaging the Crypto Community

Post about your stolen crypto on forums, Reddit, or Twitter. The community often shares valuable insights or connects you with experts.

Raising Awareness About Stolen Funds

Highlighting the theft publicly can deter thieves from cashing out and put pressure on platforms to assist.

Success Stories

Many individuals have successfully recovered their stolen crypto by rallying community support and leveraging online networks.

Legal Options for Recovering Stolen Crypto

Filing Lawsuits

If you have enough evidence to identify the thief, you may file a lawsuit. Courts can issue orders to freeze assets or compel exchanges to provide information about suspicious accounts.

International Legal Frameworks

Cryptocurrency theft often crosses borders, making it necessary to engage international legal frameworks like the Hague Convention. Collaborating with global enforcement agencies can enhance recovery efforts.

Challenges with Jurisdiction

Jurisdictional issues complicate legal proceedings. Many crypto criminals operate in countries with lax regulations, making prosecution and recovery harder.

Preventative Measures to Protect Cryptocurrency

Using Hardware Wallets

Hardware wallets store private keys offline, making them virtually immune to hacking. They are the gold standard for crypto security and should be your primary storage method for large holdings.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2FA adds an additional layer of security to your crypto accounts by requiring a second verification step. Always enable it, preferably using an authenticator app rather than SMS.

Avoiding Suspicious Links and Emails

Phishing scams often start with an innocent-looking link or email. Be cautious and double-check URLs before entering sensitive information. Bookmark trusted platforms to avoid accidental clicks on fake sites.

Educating Yourself on Crypto Scams

Recognizing Common Scam Patterns

From Ponzi schemes to fake giveaways, crypto scams come in many forms. Stay informed about the latest trends and tactics used by scammers.

Staying Updated with News and Security Tips

Follow trusted crypto news outlets and cybersecurity blogs. Awareness is your best defense against evolving threats in the crypto space.

Building a Secure Crypto Environment

Regular Wallet Audits

Periodically review your wallet and transaction history to identify unauthorized activity early. This practice can prevent small breaches from escalating into significant losses.

Diversifying Storage Solutions

Spread your funds across multiple wallets. Use a combination of hardware wallets, paper wallets, and software wallets for added security.

Investing in Cybersecurity Tools

Firewalls, antivirus software, and VPNs can protect you from malware and other digital threats. These tools are essential for safe crypto trading and storage.

Understanding the Limits of Recovery

Why Crypto Recovery Isn’t Guaranteed

The decentralized and pseudonymous nature of blockchain technology makes fund recovery difficult. Once funds are transferred to a thief’s wallet, reversing the transaction is nearly impossible without their cooperation.

Managing Expectations

While recovery efforts are worth pursuing, it’s essential to prepare for the possibility that your funds may not be recovered. Focus on improving your security to prevent future losses.

The Role of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) in Crypto Security

How DeFi Protocols Enhance Transparency

DeFi platforms operate on smart contracts, which are transparent and immutable. This openness can help in tracking fraudulent activity and ensuring secure transactions.

Risks Associated with DeFi Platforms

Despite their benefits, DeFi platforms are not immune to vulnerabilities. Exploits in smart contracts and lack of insurance can lead to significant losses.

Recovering stolen cryptocurrency is no easy feat, but it’s not entirely hopeless either. By taking immediate action, leveraging blockchain tools, and engaging with experts, you can increase your chances of recovering your funds. Most importantly, prioritize prevention by adopting stringent security measures. Remember, in the world of cryptocurrency, staying one step ahead of scammers is your best protection.

Understanding Ransomware: A Guide for Small Businesses

Ransomware is a malicious software that restricts access to your device or data until a ransom is paid. In this article, we explore how ransomware enters your system, how it works, and how to prevent attacks. A ransomware attack occurs when malware prevents access to your device or data until a ransom is paid. Attackers may threaten to publish data if the ransom is not paid. Ransomware can be locker ransomware, which locks access, or crypto ransomware, which encrypts files. Ransomware usually enters a device, assesses critical data, encrypts files, and demands a ransom. Paying the ransom doesn't guarantee recovery, so it's not recommended. Historical ransomware attacks include CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, Locky, WannaCry, NotPetya, and more. To prevent ransomware, you can have good network policies, secure servers, backup data offline and online, and encourage safe online behavior. Installing security software like antivirus, firewall, and email filtering can also help. Advanced strategies include ATP, email filtering, and security audits. In case of a ransomware infection, isolate the device, assess damage, check for a decryption key, and restore from backups. Seek professional help for recovery. Immediate actions post-infection include isolation, incident response activation, legal compliance, and stakeholder communication. Ransomware can get on your device through spam emails, phishing, pop-ups, pirated software, weak passwords, and more. Attackers prefer cryptocurrency payments for anonymity. Ransomware can spread through Wi-Fi, infecting all connected devices. Protect yourself from ransomware by following the prevention strategies mentioned above. Stay safe online and be cautious of suspicious emails, links, and downloads. And remember, it's crucial to have backups and a plan in case of a ransomware attack. #StartupBusiness #Businesses #Guide #howdoesransomwarework #Ransomware #ransomwareattack #Small #Understanding #whatisaransomware #whatisaransomwareattack #whatisransomware https://tinyurl.com/228z9vpf
