About Epic

Epic is widely recognized as the leader in the healthcare IT industry and its EMR is considered the most advanced, fully integrated electronic medical record on the market today. Epic’s graphical user interface connects functional “worlds” facilitating streamlined workflows and allowing users to jump easily between applications without signing in and out of multiple programs. Approximately one out of every four physicians in the U.S. will use the Epic EMR when current rollouts are complete. This means well over 110 million real-time, electronic patient records will be immediately accessible across the U.S. through the Epic Care Everywhere network. In Monroe County, nearly 80% of patients will eventually be a part of this network. 

Epic has been recognized with over 20 awards from KLAS, an objective, third-party evaluating agency considered the “consumer reports of healthcare IT.” For the past 10 years, the Epic Ambulatory EMR has been ranked #1 by KLAS. Multiple Epic clients have won the HIMSS Davies Award for their use of Epic applications to help improve patient safety, increase efficiency and provide cost-effective healthcare.

Key Epic Clients include:

Cleveland Clinic
Guthrie Healthcare System
Geisinger Health System
Johns Hopkins Medicine
University of Rochester Medical Center

Approximately one out of every four physicians in the U.S. will use the Epic EMR when current rollouts are complete.
