Wow, wow, wow: I posted the Judith Faulkner story last October (2024). Now "she" pops up again, today.
From Emory Healthcare:
Through Mac computers, clinicians at the hospital now have access to Epic, while iPhones and Apple Watches keep them connected.
iPhones are equipped with Epic’s Rover app to support nurses in monitoring vital signs and managing medication.
Each patient room features an iMac on a swing arm, aiding clinicians with bedside charting and documentation.
Emory Healthcare CEO Joon Lee said: “Deploying Apple products with Epic apps throughout the hospital offers efficiency and mobility to our clinical teams while saving time, providing patients the undivided attention they deserve.”
Patient registration is streamlined with iPad kiosks using the Epic Welcome app for quick and secure check-ins.
Bedside iPads in every room enable patients to engage with their care plans, review medical records, order meals, and get in touch with their care teams through Epic's MyChart Bedside app.
From yesterday:
By the way, the next big thing? AI and big HMOs. Independent hospital networks.
Think Kaiser Permanente, UnitedHealthCare, BC/BS, Aetna, Humana, and the list goes on.
Private hospital systems, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Mass General Brigham, Cedars-Sinai, Mount Sinai Health System, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital System, Stanford Health Care, UCLA Health, and Houston Methodist.
I assume Baylor White in the DFW area and MD Anderson, Texas should also be incuded.
There's a reason I posted this. Stay Tuned. Query: Nashville. HCA Healthcare; Vanderbuilt University Medical Center, Ascension State Hospital, Saint Thomas West, Saint Thomas Midtown; Community Health Systems. Low-hanging fruit.

I'm not going to post the screenshots, but a must-read, ask ChatGPT, Epic versus Oracle medical.
Verdict from ChatGPT:
If you are a large, U.S.-based, integration-focused health system with the budget, Epic is typically the best-in-class choice.
If you need modularity, flexibility, or are outside the U.S., Oracle Health may offer a better cost-to-functionality ratio, especially with its cloud roadmap

The majority of U.S. News & World Report's top-ranked hospitals and medical schools use Epic.
Among many others, Epic provides electronic record systems for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, Kaiser Permanente, and all Mayo Clinic campuses.
Partners HealthCare began adopting Epic in 2015 in a project initially reported to cost $1.2 billion, which critics decried and which is greater than the cost of its buildings. By 2018, the total expenses for the project were $1.6 billion, with payments for the software itself amounting to less than $100 million and the majority of the costs caused by lost patient revenues, tech support and other implementation work. In 2022, Emory Healthcare, Baptist Health and Memorial Hermann Health System switched to Epic from Cerner (now Oracle).
