> physicians hate them, and many blame them for the massive increase in physician burnout over the last few years

It's funny, I assumed the same. I then asked a few who used the product, and was surprised to hear praise for Epic. I wonder if the product has actually improved, or if users have simply conceded.




that's interesting, ive heard that epic is better than cerner and others, but most of my physician friends still dont like it

out of curiousity, what kind of physicians were these, in terms of specialty as well as employment status (hospital employed, hospital affiliated, part of med group, independent)?

most of the physician surveys ive seen express negative views about EMRs, but a sizable portion of physicians say that EMRs help make some things easier and more efficient. cant locate the surveys offhand


I'm hoping to get feedback on Epic in the next few months, as we lose a long-term client that's being purchased by a LARGE medical group running Epic. Our client has been on eClinicalWorks for something like 10 years at this point, so I think there's going to be some whiplash of change in about 6 weeks.

I'll probably be keeping at least somewhat in touch with them, so in a couple months perhaps I'll have some basis for comparison.
