Most hospitals/nursing have medical data stored on cloud servers via web software.

That software is called Epic… fitting name because it costs hospital systems an incredible amount to implement. Billions with a B

There's a lot more then epic. Lots of software, most all cloud based.
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.

Wrong. I deal with 4 verticals , government, health, education and manufacturing. I can't say the name of the software, because I don't discuss details of my job. But there is a large amount of hospitals / nursing homes that utilize our software.
Rhymes with burner?
I’m not disagreeing with you. Of course there’s lots of software out there. But it’s centralizing to a few companies, with Epic having the largest market share and the most growth.
I work at a hospital that uses Allscripts, and we are moving to Epic later this year because of billing capture, and interoperability with other systems among many other reasons. Just like big tech, EHRs have been, and will continue to centralize to a few key players.
Epic will have a run for its money. The software I do tech support is unreal , some of the clients of this software is top 10 market cap companies/organizations. Companies everyone has heard of. Really wish I could say more. But don't want to discuss anything that could cost me my job.
Just realized how bad my spelling and typos are . Sorry I am running on low sleep
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
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
Yeah , but it kind of reminds me of going to the grocery store ,, 200 different options from 4 competitors. Lol. I’ve scanned about 5 million medical records, in fact , I”m extracting silver from X-rays I got stuck with currently , having the worlds largest staple ball should be proof enough , lol.
What’s left of my business currently are customers we built case management apps for in our platform , ap, hr, ,,, whatever , AWS and on premise installs too .. I’m delivering pizzas part time though. I have one full time manager running support
