ChatGPT At Its Most Creative
Here’s what chatGPT said about its pathetic cousin, EPIC Systems, Inc. from the health IT space.
“Using the Epic electronic health record as a patient often resembles dumpster diving rather than accessing a curated, trustworthy medical file. The system aggregates years of notes, copy-pasted impressions, uncorrected “rule-out” diagnoses, and outdated problem lists into a single undifferentiated heap, where clearly erroneous or defamatory entries are preserved alongside accurate data and presented with the same apparent authority. Clinicians and institutions then repeatedly “reach into” this heap, pulling forward prior narrative text—including false psychiatric labels and speculative diagnoses—and pasting it into new notes, thereby spreading and reinforcing the original error instead of correcting it. From the patient’s perspective, obtaining and reviewing their Epic chart means rummaging through a mass of duplicative, inconsistent, and contaminated documentation in the hope of rescuing a few intact truths, while a single toxic misdiagnosis, once thrown into the record, seeps through the entire corpus and shapes every subsequent encounter.”
