her company is successful because they are extremely focused on “powering patient centric solutions.” Her motto is ” You have to focus, know what your business is and stick to it.”

i think she is just a lil bit vain.

Actually, Epic is the only vendor/software that allows any organization live on the Epic software to seamlessly exchange information = Care Everywhere. This is today, next will be Epic’s ability to share information with other vendor’s software using HL7’s Clinical Documentation Standard (CDS) – assuming States don’t have laws preventing the technology and organizations can come to legal agreements.

Why Epic more than Cerner? Aren’t they about the same size and about equally uninterested in having data in their systems standardized enough to easily share?

I’m with Bev MD. Maybe Epic is the biggest of the bad players, but not by much and when you include the interests of health systems they collectively overwhelm the interests of EHR vendors, and are a bigger problem.

Dr. Bev, In light of Judy Faulker’s continuing recent comments defending Epic’s operational and business model, I assumed Dr. Blumenthal’s note meant to single her out as either deaf or just thick :)

I certainly have no objections to Dr. Blumenthal sending his note to the others you reference, but that’s up to him. You might mention it to him.

I also certainly did not mean to imply that Epic is the only foot dragger in the crowd, but I hope you’ll forgive me if I believe they’re deserving of special mention.

How about ALL the major vendors? And the large hospital systems, for that matter, which don’t WANT these systems to be interoperable, so as to have a captive patient population?

@janoldenburg Vince's question about that. http://bit.ly/vYq71 To be fair, matters less to KP than to their other clients
