Samson Cournane ↗

Start with public sources01 +

Radar’s current dataset covers patient-safety legislation supplied through LegiScan. Public petitions are collected separately; advocacy claims are not treated as verified findings.

The broader public-records roadmap includes state incident reports, medical board actions, and other lawfully public records. Those collections should not be assumed available or complete.

Explore state coverage ↗

Source-linked means a direct path to the underlying record. A relevance score helps organize legislation; it is not a measure of hospital safety or proof that a claim is true.

Organize the information02 +

The bill pipeline checks legislative records, finds candidates through topic searches, and uses keyword filtering and AI-assisted classification to assess patient-safety relevance. Titles, dates, status history, and source links travel with the record.

The refresh is scheduled weekly. Source delays, failed requests, and session changes can leave gaps. Check the underlying source before relying on a record’s current status.

The latest dataset timestamp is published in the data update record.

Keep the evidence in reach03 +

A summary is a starting point. Verify important details against the linked record, including the jurisdiction, dates, bill text, and latest legislative action. Machine-generated classifications can be wrong.

Source-backed information, interpretation, and unresolved claims should remain distinguishable. Independent audit and human-review reliability metrics have not been published.

Be clear about the limits04 +

Epieme does not claim complete national coverage and does not score or rank hospitals. Reporting rules differ across states. An absence of records is not evidence of an absence of risk.

Private clinical outcomes, sealed settlements, and protected peer-review materials are outside the public-records scope. Current coverage is U.S.-focused.

We do not publish raw protected health information, private medical records, or private patient stories without permission. See our privacy policy.

Make room for corrections05 +

Found an incorrect date, a broken source link, or a misattributed record? Send the page URL, the issue, and a supporting source through Support. Please leave private health information out of your message.

The stated response target is five business days, not a guaranteed resolution deadline. A public corrections log is planned; no completed log is represented here.

Report a problem ↗
Stay accountable06 +

Samson Cournane owns this methodology. Hospitals, advertisers, funders, and partners cannot pay to suppress records or change the methodology. Epieme does not sell hospital advertising against patient-safety listings.

External audits, advisory roles, funding, and relevant conflicts should be named and documented when confirmed. No independent methodology audit is currently published.

Source-specific reuse terms still apply to public records. Commercial API and data-sharing terms require finalized license language before release.

A FEW MORE THINGS

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Still curious? Get in touch ↗

Where should I start?+

Open Radar to explore patient-safety legislation, or visit the state pages for a geographic starting point. Follow the source link on any record to check the original.

How current is the information?+

The collection pipeline is scheduled weekly. Different sources publish at different speeds, and a scheduled run can be incomplete. Always check the linked source for time-sensitive details.

Does Epieme tell me which hospital is safest?+

No. Epieme does not rank hospitals or provide an individual safety assessment. It helps you find and understand public information.

Can I help or share what I find?+

Yes. Share links to records and their sources, explore the Action Center, or connect with other advocates in the community.

What if something looks wrong?+

Use Support to send the record URL and explain what needs checking. A source document or correction from the original publisher is especially helpful.
