Just got a chance to look more at this which is also from Appriss:

Data Driven Justice Incarceration Report - Identifying Super Utilizers with Incarceration and Prescription Monitoring Data

@maiasz

If they take this down and anyone wants a copy, let me know. It's already in my repository.
Target them for what, exactly?
This is the definition of #SurveillanceCapitalism.
Found another one. This is a presentation by David Speights, PhD Chief Data Scientist at Appriss.

Appriss intends to generate a new kind of score based on arrest records:

Care coordination:

"Appriss Health and PatientPing platform serves the largest integrated delivery systems in the U.S., including 2,500 hospitals, 7,500 post-acute facilities, 25,000 pharmacies ... every national pharmacy chain and 43 state governments."

Statement by Brad Bauer SVP Appriss Health before House Committee on Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on Health 2018 talks about linking disparate patient data such as drug court information with "integrated" PDMPs:

This is a sort of scary aggregation of services and products that would support a police state with social credit as currency. It seems helpful on the surface until you understand Appriss's strategic product offerings.

Doctors and other healthcare professionals will not be immune from exclusion in the Appriss social credit empire. Appriss Insights was recently acquired by Equifax for 1.825 billion.

And, from Appriss Safety, "Investigate, Locate, and Monitor Non-Custodial Parents"

Welcome to the algocracy. The social credit system in the West is anything but "soft" and our healthcare system has a big role to play.

"A parallel system is developing in the United States, in part as the result of Silicon Valley and technology-industry user policies, and in part by surveillance of social media activity by private companies."

"...the challenge posed by China goes beyond the question of who will maintain dominance in the data industry; it asks whether the United States will also choose to test the maximum power of data technology to control and rationalize society."

Ever wonder how eugenics gained hegemony in 20th century Germany? THIS is how. Over 100 million people in the US have 1 or more chronic illnesses. Amazing people think they have a right to shame others for deciding against a medical treatment. Also, Darwin was a eugenicist.
"Eugenicists felt that they were able to justify prejudiced and immoral actions under Darwin’s theories (Wiker, 2000). The segregation, sterilization, and murder of various groups was justified by some as being done for the greater good of evolution..."

"...- those groups were considered to be ‘less fit’, and by preventing their reproduction, advocates argued that the human race would improve and evolve into a better species..."

"Many embedded research studies are granted a waiver of consent from patients, with the requirement that personal health information be protected from disclosure."

This means embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) via NIH don't need patient consent.

rethinkingclinicaltrials.org/chapters/disse…
There are NIH ePCTs taking place in regard to pain and (conflating) addiction. There is also medication sparing programs for post-operative patients and for chronic pain through the HEAL initiative.

heal.nih.gov
The Pragmatic and Implementation Studies for the Management of Pain to Reduce Opioid Prescribing (PRISM) is the main ePCT taking place via the HEAL initiative. Meaning, patients are studied within the delivery model (EHR) and consent requirements likely waived via data protection

This study could benefit people with #ChronicPain by helping round out the science for the safety/efficacy of LTOT. This could influence future research trajectories based on patient reports. See thread.
Some raised concerns that we don't know what the results will be, but that's how science is supposed to work. If people knew what the results would be, there'd be no reason to study. Because millions have likely been force-tapered, this could contribute to an end to the practice.
The ethical issues surrounding forced tapering stand on their own. However, having science that proves opioids aren't as dangerous or inappropriate for chronic "non-cancer pain" as some claim is also important because public policy is informed by it, whether we like it or not.

Kognito simulations "allows PCPs to learn through role-play conversations with emotionally responsive virtual patients how to build trust, collaborate on a treatment plan, and address the patient's request for antibiotics." Except for this pitch, it'd be simulations for #opioids.
Also from LinkedIn: "Ron was the Co-Founder, CEO, and Chief Simulation Strategist of Kognito, a virtual human health simulation company acquired by Blackstone Private Equity."
Blackstone Private Equity: "As of 2020, the company's total assets under management were approximately US$619 billion."

.@MaaShealth This response to Pat Anson's request is telling. See thread.

"We located 1,449 pages of responsive records and two Excel workbooks (108 pages released in full; 103
pages disclosed in part; 1,238 pages withheld in full). After a careful review ... some information was withheld from release pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §552 Exemptions b5 and b6."
