Epic Systems was founded by Judy Faulker in 1979. Epic is an electronic medical records software corporation headquartered in Verona, WI. Epic applications are developed using MUMPS and Cache database structure[2]. The system allows a quick access to summary information about a patient. The patient's active medical problems, current medications, and drug allergies are among the core data that physicians must keep in mind when making any decision on patient care. The providers can easily find the newest individual result, in flowsheet format to highlight changes over time across mulitple variables, and in focused views tailored to specialties and settings.
