EPIC is a rolling catastrophe.
Like driving to the supermarket in an M-1 tank.
It is a nightmare to try to read a record from an EPIC - equipped hospital when the patient is returned to the practice.
Doctors fume and fuss when they try to use it, but doesn't matter -- they aren't important, and apparently, neither is patient care.
Younger and more clever old doctors do seem to master it, in the sense they get home before midnight -- but their notes contain nothing of value.
And the cut and past feature means that every doctor who sees the patient just appends another paragraph, and the "HPI" consumes three pages of endless repetition.
BAH!
