Medical Software Development Paused Due to Safety Concerns
The medical records technology company Epic has paused product development to protect patient data. This is in response to security bugs that could expose patients' medical information. Healthcare breaches have increased in the past few years with a ransomware attack on Change Healthcare, and medical record data have been stolen from Carecloud, McKesson, and Craneware. With new exploits being developed daily, how long should Epic really pause development?
