My clinical organization uses the EPIC medical software program. It just occurred to me:

When the system goes down, it's an EPIC failure!

1. HA HA! Many would agree

I keep getting messages that ours is switching to Epic and maybe it has but I don't notice anything different.

2. I have to use EPIC where I work.

I'm used to it although never liked it. I work mostly in radiology and we used RIS for years which I also didn't like...until we switched to EPIC and now I miss RIS.

3. I started out using AllScripts. It was a great system.

Used it for about eight years until they switched to EPIC. I don’t mind saying I was an Allscripts virtuoso. I’m only ‘meh’ on EPIC.

4. Well we're all stuck with it.

They invest so much in these programs. The MBAs who manage everything don't really understand what the rank and file need. So it goes.
