NHS organisations that care for millions of people in England are rejecting Palantir’s patient data technology, according to freedom of information responses that reveal health bosses believe they can find better or equal alternatives in many cases.(根据信息自由回应,英格兰照顾数百万人的NHS机构正在拒绝Palantir的患者数据技术,这些回应显示卫生负责人认为在许多情况下他们能找到更好或同等的替代方案。)
根据《信息自由法》的回应,英格兰多家照顾数百万民众的NHS机构正在拒绝Palantir的患者数据技术,这些回应显示卫生部门负责人认为在许多情况下他们能找到更好或同等的替代方案。
Some health bodies said the £330m federated(联邦式的) data platform (FDP) operated by the controversial US company had made it easier to manage waiting lists(等候名单) and has improved surgery scheduling. But, from Gateshead to Truro, others said they were declining to use it or had carried out trials and reverted(回归,恢复) to old systems. A Suffolk trust said other systems “supercede” the FDP’s functionality, while Greater Manchester’s care board called the Palantir system “duplicative” and “retrograde”.(萨福克一家信托表示其他系统“取代”了FDP的功能,而大曼彻斯特的护理委员会称Palantir系统“重复”且“倒退”。)
一些卫生机构表示,这家备受争议的美国公司运营的3.3亿英镑联邦数据平台(FDP)使管理等候名单变得更容易,并改善了手术排程。但从盖茨黑德到特鲁罗,其他机构表示他们拒绝使用该平台,或已经进行试验后回归旧系统。萨福克一家信托表示其他系统“取代”了FDP的功能,而大曼彻斯特的护理委员会称Palantir系统“重复”且“倒退”。
The responses come as Andy Burnham’s government faces a crunch(关键的) decision about whether to exercise a break clause(中断条款) in the seven-year NHS-Palantir deal, which was intended to better integrate(整合) the health system’s data to improve clinical(临床的) accuracy and efficiency. Protests against the US firm’s role have also focused on its other contracts with the Israeli military and Donald Trump’s homeland security(国土安全) forces. There is also dispute over evidence for the system’s effectiveness and public concern about the involvement in the NHS of a company cofounded by the tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who said in 2023: “The NHS makes people sick.”(此外,关于该系统有效性的证据存在争议,公众也担心一家由科技亿万富翁彼得·蒂尔共同创立的公司参与NHS——蒂尔曾在2023年说:“NHS让人生病。”)
这些回应出现之际,安迪·伯纳姆的政府正面临一个关键决定:是否行使NHS与Palantir七年合同中的中断条款。该合同旨在更好地整合卫生系统数据,以提高临床准确性和效率。针对这家美国公司角色的抗议还集中在其与以色列军方和唐纳德·特朗普国土安全部队的其他合同上。此外,关于该系统有效性的证据存在争议,公众也担心一家由科技亿万富翁彼得·蒂尔共同创立的公司参与NHS——蒂尔曾在2023年说:“NHS让人生病。”
