About the Company
Epic Systems’ goal is to improve healthcare and research so that people can get well, stay well, and future generations can be healthier. To achieve our goal, we offer an integrated suite of Electronic Health Record (EHR) applications designed for the unique needs of healthcare providers. With Epic’s software, healthcare organizations can better coordinate care wherever the patient goes, and patients and care givers have online and mobile access to their health information.
Epic was founded in 1979 by Judith Faulkner, a mathematician and computer scientist, to create a patient-centric database for healthcare organizations. Beginning with 1 ½ employees and $70,000 in start-up capital, Epic grew organically and eventually began developing applications for ambulatory providers and later inpatient providers. We build, install, and support our software with in house staff. We have remained privately held and employee owned, which we believe has helped us invest more in development and prioritize projects that will provide our clients with the most significant impacts on care outcomes. Today, we have the industry’s broadest and best-rated integrated EHR suite.
