Epic delivers a fully integrated product suite and the most adopted patient information interoperability tech to hospitals, but many organizations may see the Verona, Wis.-based EHR vendor's significant upfront cost as a barrier, according to KLAS Research.
For its June 2021 Epic Complete Look report, KLAS examined Epic's performance and market share based on customer interviews and analysis. KLAS released the report to offer a more comprehensive outlook on Epic's hold on the hospital EHR market share without comparison to other major EHR vendors.
