[NFBCS] EPIC and patient records

[Tracy Carcione]

Epic is becoming the main software for big hospitals, so, if they're not accessible, it might be time for someone new to sue.  A lawsuit seems like all that really gets companies' attention.
The hospital I work for just switched to Epic, but I don't have access to that side of things.

Is Epic being honest with medical providers they sell to about accessibility? They have been aware of their accessibility issues for many years. We always get the comment that they are working on it.
