Epic is being used at the Cleveland CLinic as well as at Philadelphia Childrens hospital - where I saw it in action and I have seen the referral data back at my office...it sends out alot of gook....but not to bad for doctor/patient usability...but a 1 hour visit with A VERY NICE GENETICIST at CHOP she took 5 min to examin the child and about 40 to do the new patient note...didnt help that my daughter was easily crashing the system with errant key strokes...good luck getting any hospital administrator to listen..with the new government regulations, RAC audits, etc...the last people they consult are the ones who work there everyday. I am soon to give up all hospital based medicine and never thought that I would....
