Quiet features save lives.
At WVU Medicine, a concerning patient message was received at 9:11am and immediately categorized by Epic AI as "Urgent." Within 12 minutes, the care team responded — connecting with the patient and directing them to the Emergency Department.
The patient was actively experiencing a stroke, and the rapid identification and response enabled timely emergency care.
Throughout their shifts, care teams can receive an overwhelming number of patient messages with varying levels of urgency. Now, Epic AI can scan messages to determine their urgency and category before flagging the proper prioritization and categorization for the care team.
The FDA is transforming how we monitor product safety. Beginning today, the new Adverse Event Monitoring System (AEMS) replaces a patchwork of costly databases with one unified, real-time platform.
This infrastructure overhaul will reduce costs by $120M over five years, while providing real-time public access to critical safety data. https://t.co/hUxNqqF4yK
At HIMSS, we're demonstrating upcoming functionality that meets the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem's Kill the Clipboard pledge.
This will allow a provider to scan a patient-presented QR code to receive their health information from an app of their choosing.
We've also released a 'Kill the Clipboard' checklist to help providers make the most of existing tools to pre-fill clinical and insurance information, automate patient check-in, and create a smoother, more efficient arrival experience for patients.
Do you know why this works?
Because Americans have traded principles for party tribalism.
For years I have taught a truth that many do not want to hear:
If we are ever going to reclaim our elections, if we are ever going to confront voter fraud with integrity, we must first abandon blind allegiance to political parties.
Because the hard reality is this: Americans no longer vote based upon the content of a candidate’s character. We no longer demand constitutional fidelity. We rarely even examine qualifications. Instead, we are told to vote for “electability.” We are pressured to rally behind the “party favorite.” We are herded, not informed.
Voting has been reduced to a team sport. It has stopped being about principle and more about placing a bet. Look at the scoreboard. Calculate the odds. Vote for the one most likely to “win.” But here is the truth no one wants to admit:
The game is fixed.
The odds are stacked in favor of party power, not in favor of the Constitution, not in favor of Liberty, not in favor of the People. And too often, the one deemed “most electable” is simply the one most willing to betray the People to advance party objectives. And we wonder why nothing changes.
If we want different results, we have to change the way the game is played. The only way to take back control of the game is to refuse to be bullied into playing by party rules. Refuse to be manipulated by fear. Refuse to be deceived by the illusion of inevitability.
That means:
https://t.co/DRaIahuehg candidates based on character and constitutional qualifications not party labels.
https://t.co/uQErFk8Wah for the best candidate not the one you are told is already the winner.
When people do this, something powerful happens. The “long shot” becomes winner. The principled candidate becomes competitive. And the people no longer divided by party.
But let us be honest. This requires courage. It requires sacrifice. It requires voters who are willing to WORK, to read, to research, to question, to verify. Self-government is not passive. Liberty is not convenient. And freedom cannot survive on slogans and party talking points.
If we continue to vote like fans instead of citizens, we will continue to be governed like subjects instead of sovereigns. Tribalism kills Liberty.
And if we truly love this Republic, we must love principle more than party, liberty more than security, and truth more than personality.
