A Comprehensive Review of an Electronic Health Record System Soon to Assume Market Ascendancy: EPIC®

Off-the-shelf, onthe-spot, one-source EHR systems such as EPIC® have become popular choices. Indeed, EPIC® recently captured a substantial proportion of the Houston Texas Medical Center (TMC), CVS Pharmacy mini-clinics, and extended into academic institutions. Current reported estimates are contentious but vary between 2047% of the EHR market share. Therefore, it is only sensible to conduct a review of EPIC.
