Epic Systems Corporation (commonly known as Epic) is a privately held health care software company founded in 1979 by Judy Faulkner.[2] Originally headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, Epic began moving staff to a new $300 million campus[3] in Verona, Wisconsin in late 2005. Nearly all of Epic's staff are based in the greater Madison area. Epic also has two international offices in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch), Netherlands and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Epic's target market is large health care organizations involved with making substantial financial investment in technology. Epic offers an integrated suite of health care software centered on a hierarchical MUMPS/Caché database. Their applications support functions related to patient care, including registration and scheduling systems for clerks; clinical systems for doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, and other care providers; systems for lab technicians, pharmacists, and radiologists; and billing systems for insurers.
Epic had a partnership with Philips to develop a scaled-down version of Epic's software, called Xtenity, which was marketed to mid-sized health care organizations. This partnership ended on September 29, 2006, as no organizations used Xtenity in a production environment.
Since 2006, Epic has been attempting to expand into the international health care market. Epic has established subsidiaries in the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates to market Epic software.
Current applications developed by Epic include:
