Yes, but your PHI is also stored in multiple secondary proprietary clouds before it’s integrated into the user EMR. Any time you’re hooked up the a monitor, you’re “deviced” by a nurse and your data is on a cloud owned by Philips, GE, Mindray, etc
Not true, it’s becoming very centralized. 1/3 of healthcare systems are on Epic. As they buy smaller regional hospitals and practices they too get Epic (which is happening, true private practice is rare these days).
Also Epic is cloud based.

The cloud it's stored on is not owned/rented/ran by Phillips. Philips is simply the hardware. The data is synced with software and that web based software would be the one responsible for cloud storage. I know someone who sells these units. And I also do tech support for software that works in conjunction with the hardware
I’ll defer to you as the expert. It seemed that each of those companies presents their data management in ways that confuse a simple doctor like me
