Epic has denied any wrongdoing and pledged to protect person protection. In a speech to Healthcare IT News, Epic stated that it would “vigorously defend itself against Particle’s meritless says.” In its initial declaration on Thursday, Particle explained that” this situation is about Epic’s immoral and common campaign to eradicate competition in the payer-platform market.” The data transfer and analytics firm strongly denies that Epic acted with intention and once asserted that it” properly alleges real hate” by the EHR merchant against it to stop competition in the payer interoperability market. Epic stated in its submitting to ignore the antitrust lawsuit next month that Particle Health Inc. v. Epic Systems Corporation was punishment for respecting the protection of the patients. The EHR supplier has stated that Particle had allegedly allowed some customers to access patient records on the Carequality health data exchange network under the false pretense of being a doctor, and it has lodged a complaint with the HIE after learning this. In the end, a Carequality statement from October in October alleged that this claim outlined differences in the interpretation of some Carequality technical requirements. It was established that Particle Health was not using a “masking doorway” with the assistance of a subject matter expert. ‘” Particle terminated its contracts with three certain businesses, which were disconnected from Carequality for at least 12 months. Epic claimed in the internet discussion that the Carequality debate decision confirmed that it and its clients took the necessary steps to protect patient protection. The analytics firm asserted that” contrary to Epic’s conclusory says,” it reasonably refutes says that Epic has used” a variety of unlawful indicates that continue to this day,” including” Threatening Particle’s users unless they agree to stop working with Particle.” ” In an effort to spread fear, doubt, and doubt about particle physics, initiating and then very publicly pursuing a baseless market dispute.” ” Making repeated disparaging assertions”. A Particle spokesperson said on Thursday by message along with the filed report addressing Epic’s schedule for departure,” We remain comfortable in the strength of the situation and that our claims will endure the motion.” In the fresh court filing, the company claimed that” Particle’s seventy-eight-page complaint provides a step-by-step description of how a corporation hungry for power is eager to eliminate an entrepreneur with an honestly superior solution to increase its profits.” Epic will try to defend its steps when necessary, but it has no current grounds for rejecting the problem. The activity may become denied”. ” Particle’s claims are inconsistent with reality”, an Epic spokesperson told Healthcare IT News by email in comment on Friday.
