A loved one was inpatient for a few weeks at a local epic hospital/medical system and then a more specialized/academic hospital with a federated collection of cerner systems.

It’s a night and day difference. The GUI may be ugly, but the Epic implementations tend to be soup to nuts. Everyone, from the transporters moving patients to the doctors to the primary care providers to the patients know what’s going on in real time.

At the teaching hospital, they had awesome medical capability, but nobody had a clue what was going on. That leads to risks if you need care from multiple specialties.

I’m sure that it’s garbage enterprise software of course.
