I recently took @tszzl and @RichardHanania (true story lolz-and both advisors to my new venture in full disclosure) to one of the countries largest academic medical centers.

@tszzl has since wrote a viral X thread thats worth reading again https://t.co/2LCP2VOVdg

It speaks for itself. I'll just add if he's surprised by the missing data .....he'd be further surprised by the data we do capture: fragmented, delayed, and built for billing, not clinical insight. It tells us very little about human disease and how to truly treat it.

Epic Systems is at the center of this monumental failure.

Simply put: AI cannot reach its full potential in medicine while Epic Systems controls the underlying data architecture. The ideas are fundamentally oppositional at their core.

I explain why Epic's culture, regulatory inertia, and the staggering $1B sunk costs of its clients do not guarantee its dominance but if anything bring a slow march into irrelevance.
