EPIC came into my hospital several years ago. The system which we had been using for years was perfectly fine. They gave us a whole story about a single woman designed the format and that it was hoped to eventually standardize the medical records nationally and globally. I see that software everywhere now. I mean I see it and I want to log in and see if my software credentials are good where EPIC can be found.
The woman ‘Inventor’ was from either Wisconsin or Minnesota ( I forget) and she was now quite filthy rich. Not much else on details though. I am very interested in this article you linked and I will look at as soon as I can. Thanks.
