I work at Epic. This is not true. Hospitals have the ability to customize the portal we offer and add in what they want. We're not shipping with Meta Pixel enabled. They added this and didn't understand the full consequences (I hope). When we learned and understood the consequences, we called every customer to share what we know and investigate if they're impacted.
I can't speak to why the consequences weren't more obvious. I don't know. I do know that Epic cares deeply about this and I know that it pisses me off that this happens. But the tech people at hospitals are people and make mistakes. They're likely driven by the business needs and don't have time to fully vet everything.
I think this is a consequence of the American health system and want to implement these products to increase profitability.
- cratermoon 4y agoI had no idea which EHR vendor was involved. Edit: I didn't read far enough into the story. I see that Epic was mentioned by name. I stand by my assertion that it's on the EHR vendor. Did those hospitals specifically enable the private health data be sent?
- ehr891063 4y agoYes. They specifically added Meta Pixel or added something else that added Meta Pixel.
