Epic Systems Corporation develops and provides Electronic Health Record (EHR) software used by hospitals, health systems, clinics, and health plans, enabling a single comprehensive medical record for patients across more than 60 specialties. Serving over 325 million patients and their providers, Epic's platform spans clinical workflows, patient engagement, healthcare analytics, and interoperability — exchanging over 20 million patient records daily.
“Healthcare platforms like Epic and Cerner sit so deep inside clinical operations, billing flows, records, compliance requirements, and institutional memory that replacing them is less a software decision than an institutional one.”
“This is insane. If I want to move data from one place in Salesforce to another place in Salesforce, I can do it with my eyes closed. If I want to do that in Epic, I got to go sacrifice my firstborn child to Judy. And so data liquidity is like a very real problem in healthcare. And I think the admin is tackling it head on. They're funding the Department of Justice to come after folks that are engaging in information blocking or violating the Cures Act.”
