The problem with Epic is that they seem to refuse to deal with their technical debt. As far as I know, it's still some janky visualbasic UI with a M/UMPS backend (well w/ a modernization wrapper). And why change because hospital CIOs are willing to approve contracts worth hundreds of millions (and their competitors are even worse)

Maybe it all works...however slowly... but pulling data out of what is effectively a bunch of antiquated and super siloed-bins seems overly labor intensive and cost ineffective.

The other announcement was that they were doing to do a partnership with Apple, but sounded like the task of actually making a modern native client on MacOS was beyond their technical skill...(their iOS app efforts are...not pretty...)
