The system is broken. Information is the fix.

Healthcare lobbyists have real-time legislative intelligence. Patients and families are left in the dark. We're changing that.

Americans die from preventable medical errors each year

That makes it the third leading cause of death—after heart disease and cancer. Most cases are never reported, never investigated, never prevented from happening again.

Whistleblowers face retaliation

Healthcare workers who report unsafe conditions risk career-ending consequences. Only 22 states have meaningful protections.

$0

Spent annually on healthcare lobbying

Industry groups have full-time staff tracking every bill. Patients have nothing—until now.

How much of a problem is patient safety? The unsettling fact is that no one knows.

Dr. Lucian Leape Patient Safety Leader
Made for humans

Behind every bill is a person.

Epieme is built for patients, families, and clinicians who want clarity without jargon. You shouldn't need a lobbying team to understand what might change in your state—or what you can do about it.

A family member advocating for safer care

A family asking the next question

When care gets complicated, small policy changes can have big consequences. We surface what’s relevant so you can advocate with confidence.

A clinician focused on patient safety

A clinician trying to keep patients safe

Frontline workers see what breaks first. We track bills that shape reporting, staffing, transparency, and whistleblower protections.

An advocate speaking up for patients

An advocate showing up

Policy moves fast. We help you spot hearings, deadlines, and action steps early—so your voice is there when it counts.

Stay Informed

Never miss a critical bill
