Epic Systems v. Particle: What the Carequality investigation reveals about the dispute
Oct. 9, 2024
Health Tech Reporter
Late Tuesday night, Carequality released new information about its investigation into the dispute between electronic health records vendor Epic Systems and health data startup Particle Health that has now escalated into an antitrust lawsuit.
The dispute between the two started earlier in the year when Epic accused Particle of requesting and sharing health data with customers in violation of Carequality’s rules. Carequality, a nonprofit, runs an “interoperability framework,” an agreement that governs how health care providers share medical records with each other.

In its lawsuit against Epic, filed in September, Particle accused Epic of trying to kill its business by unfairly singling it out and cutting off Particle customers’ access to patient records managed by Epic. The startup also claimed that Epic unduly influenced the Carequality adjudication process.
