Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen
LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 1 week agoSo I am not being willfully ignorant. I work with both daily.
Then you’re just being ignorant.
O365, which is actually Microsoft 365 now, is a suite of productivity software as well as collaboration and cloud-based services.
Word is a word processing program. They are not the same and use of Word does not equate to O365.
You should know this. Just like you should know that a business using a piece of software, such as a medical facility using Epic’s patient data management tools, does not equate to patient data being “released” to Epic.
Since you seem to be struggling with the concept perhaps a different example would be easier for you?
Just because you get an MRI doesn’t mean the data collected for the MRI is “released” to GE.

Do you realize how much data is sent from Word to the O365/M365 service as you type if you have an internet connection?

I am aware of telemetry, yes.
Even if we ignore your continued conflation of Word and Microsoft 365, I suspect you have nothing to support your assertion that Word transmits the content of your document files to Microsoft.
Realistically this whole exchange is moot. A medical providers use of patient data management software in no way constitutes a “release” of data to that software provider as the person I originally replied to seemed to think.
Perhaps you’ll have an opportunity to administer a tenant someday and that’ll give you a better understanding.

It is not a conflation. Word is a component of M365.
I administer a tenant today that has given me plenty of understanding. Perhaps you should brush up on yours.

You’d never be able to tell. If this is true your “understanding” doesn’t show but I’ve seen some very dysfunctional organizations so I wouldn’t be surprised.
