Verdict
Epic is the top choice for large hospital systems due to its unparalleled interoperability through the Care Everywhere network and its deeply integrated suite of specialty modules.
What customers praise
Its MyChart patient portal is the most widely adopted in the industry, used by over 250 million patients to access records, schedule appointments, and communicate with providers.
What customers criticise
The total cost of ownership is prohibitive for any organization outside of large health systems, with implementation projects frequently costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
