#5This software is the epitome of a roach motel, or Hotel California - data enters, but can never leave. Epic software is so proprietary and customized for each customers that two hospitals using it can't even exchange records, or have the same interaction methodology (source: I have family that worked at two large hospitals, both with Epic).
People had a fit over Windows in the 90's and 2000's being proprietary lock in, but it was never the OS that was the problem, it was MS Office format lock-in that caused all the issues, which is still a problem.
Open, simple, interoperable formats are the way out. We need more of these, especially in the health care sector.

Does it actually work in practice? I often see 'theoretical' support, you can export data but if you re-import it, it's all fucked.
Like Zigbee, in theory like every company supports it but in practice moat imlementations is not compatiable with each-other

Yes; Epic participates in the CareEverywhere network which has a gateway to the CareQuality network, thus supporting decent interoperability with other hospitals and clinics using a variety of EHRs.
Now, how much they share is potentially open to debate.

This is not universally true, but I don’t know where your family works or in what capacity. There are a lot of issues with epic but unfortunately it is the best out of all the garbage out there. Out of all the EMR’s I have used, Epic is the easiest to share information both within different hospitals using epic and sharing from epic to other emrs like Cerner. Source: Am physician who has worked in many different hospitals, and use Cerner currently, grabbing info from Epic most days.

Is there any public documentation on Epic and how one can interact with it?
