Founded in a basement in 1979 with three half-time employees, Epic develops software to help people get well, help people stay well, and help future generations be healthier. More than 325 million patients have a current electronic record in Epic. An ‘epic’ is a glorious recounting of a nation’s events. Like the Iliad or the Odyssey, our electronic health records chronicle the story of a patient’s healthcare over time. As per company’s website, “Our software makes it possible for every patient to have a single, comprehensive medical record that informs and is informed by their health experiences. The goal is higher-quality, more personalized care that’s simpler for patients, medical professionals, and everyone who makes healthcare happen.”
