About Epieme

Patient-safety laws are written in statehouses, one vote at a time. Epieme follows each patient-safety bill to its official record, so families, advocates and clinicians can keep up.

How it works

From the statehouse to your inbox.

Epieme reads the legislative record from LegiScan for all 50 state legislatures and DC, keeps the bills that matter for patient safety, and tells you when they move.

    Found by search, checked for relevance

    A full-text search of every state legislature finds candidate bills, and a keyword filter narrows them. New candidates are then rated by a language-model classifier; bills it scores under 0.4 on a 0–1 scale are left out.

Common questions

What Epieme tracks, where it comes from, and what the alerts contain.

More on sources and limits in How it works.

Where does the information come from?

From LegiScan, which collects bill text, status and history from every state legislature. Each Epieme record links to the bill's page on LegiScan, so you can check the source yourself.

Which states do you cover?

We check all 50 state legislatures and DC. Right now 38 states and DC have at least one bill that meets our patient-safety bar; the other 12 have none this session. Epieme covers state legislation only, not Congress.

How current is it?

A full search for new bills runs every Monday. Bills already on the list are refreshed daily when LegiScan records a change, so a new vote or referral usually shows up within a day of reaching LegiScan. The figures on this page are from Nov 6, 2026.

What's in an alert?

You pick a state and how often: weekly or monthly. Each email highlights up to six bills in that state with new action since your last email, with their number, title and latest action, and counts the rest. Alerts cover a whole state; following a single bill isn't available yet. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

Does Epieme take positions or lobby?

No. Epieme reports what legislatures record. It doesn't endorse or oppose bills, and it doesn't lobby. It's free and carries no ads.

Start with the bills already moving in your state.

One email a week or a month, for the state you choose. Free, with a one‑click unsubscribe.
