EPIC is also used outside of the US too, there are famous botched implementations of it in Norway and Finland. It’s not just a USA problem

Indeed. The biggest hospital where I live (Trondheim, Norway) is still running at reduced capacity and over budget a year after moving to an Epic derivative. Doctors and nurses are burning out, many talking about moving elsewhere. Being recently retired, I am concerned that this may not be a safe place to grow old, if the hospital (by all accounts an excellent one) is dragged down by this horror of a system.
