Electronic health records giant Epic Systems sued over alleged monopolistic practices

Chief Investigative Reporter, Data & Technology
The health data company Particle Health has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Epic Systems, alleging that the electronic health record vendor has used its control of patient data to thwart competition and undermine its business.
The suit filed Monday in federal court in the Southern District of New York is a full-throated assault on Epic’s dominance in the market for electronic health records, charging that the privately held company has become a “behemoth” and a “monopolist in the EHR software market.”

“Epic has used its position of dominance to worm its way to the core of the U.S. healthcare system and stamp out competition in a wide variety of interrelated markets, thereby generating billions of dollars for itself,” Particle Health’s complaint states.
