Epic Reviews in June 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

"Clinical Coordinator"

What do you like best about Epic? Fairly simple to navigate. Seemed to make more sense than Cerner. What do you dislike about Epic? SO many windows to open just to document simple tasks! Recommendations to others considering Epic: Listen to the Epic consultants and take the needed time for roll out, training and implementation. Our organization was ridiculous and thought they could successfully do this in three months during the summer by not allowing any staff to take PTO (and again, this ...

"Takes some getting used to."

What do you like best about Epic? I like that we are able to integrate the laboratory and clinic orders. I work in the laboratory, we can easily see tests ordered by our clinic physicians. It's easy to fix erroneous orders, and we can easily communicate within the LIS. What do you dislike about Epic? There is a lot to this software. We do not fully utilize the system, and I think even our IT department is not fully aware of all of the functionality. This sometimes makes it difficult to ...

"An EHR that actually makes sense"

What do you like best about Epic? EPIC is far superior to any other EHR software I have encountered. Whereas others seem to always feel outdated and clunky, EPIC streamlines helpful tools in an intuitive way. I love the flow sheets and regularly rely on the resuc navigator during codes. Most importantly, it’s easy to learn and constantly releasing new updates based on user feedback. Having used EPIC, I never want to use another software again. What do you dislike about Epic? My only ...

"Updates generally make things more complicated, workspace flow can make it difficult to work quickly"

What do you like best about Epic? I like that EPIC is used widely, which makes it easier to incorporate patients' information from other partner facilities. What do you dislike about Epic? Updates generally make workflow spaces more difficult to find and access, and the workflow will not let you quickly close tabs in an emergency without first inputting some information into various sections (even if the information being requested has not yet been obtained). For example, a patient's ...

"EPIC is a great software, but has a steep learning curve"

What do you like best about Epic? The search bar tool is very helpful for navigating through the charts when information is difficult to find. Instead of having to read through every note (which would take forever), I try different permutations on the search bar until I locate what I need. I particularly like the Results Review tab. It is easy on the eye to scan through the different lab values and identify what is normal and abnormal. It's also nice that all sorts of information are ...

"Epic gets the job done."

What do you like best about Epic? It’s highly moldable to a hospital system’s needs. IT can easily adapt to fit what charting staff desires. What do you dislike about Epic? Frequency of areas in charts that don’t communicate together. Recommendations to others considering Epic: Gets the job done What problems is Epic solving and how is that benefiting you? Ease of tallying inputs and outputs.

"Good tech support, gets the job done"

What do you like best about Epic? I like that I can generally chart in Doc Flowsheets using the keyboard only, as opposed to having to click through each option. And it’s generally user friendly. I also love being able to go to Chart Review to look at old notes from previous encounters. What do you dislike about Epic? I dislike having to go to different screens for so much. And I don’t enjoy when I see unnecessary typos on the options that I have to click. I object to that, actually. We ...

"Able to easily access medical records for patients"

What do you like best about Epic? Using the “care everywhere” feature to access patients’ medical records, gather additional information before meeting w/ patient. What do you dislike about Epic? Somewhat clunky. Only so much room to view records. Have to navigate between one screen & another, back & fourth. What problems is Epic solving and how is that benefiting you? Ease of accessing patient info.

"Epic at the hospital "

What do you like best about Epic? It holds all the patients info in one spot. It’s compact and complete that way. If you go to another hospital it’s all there. It works with the MyChart app. It works across all departments. Every patients profile is just all complete in one spot. What do you dislike about Epic? It not as efficient as I think it could be. For you to look at a certain persons info you have to type their number in. Then if you want to look at someone else’s real quick then you ...
