wiki posted:Central Norway started introducing Epic (branded “Helseplattformen”) in the winter 2023. After approximately two months, the public broadcaster NRK reported that around 25% of the doctors at the region's main hospital considered quitting their job, and that 40% were experiencing stress related health issues due to the new IT system. Previously, health personnel actively demonstrated against the software by marching though the city of Trondheim.[46] Due to the chaos ensuing the introduction, including 16.000 letters not being sent to patients, the Norwegian CEO of the Helseplattformen IT project, Torbjørg Vanvik, had her employment ended by the board. Unexpected cost increases forced the authorities to decrease efforts in other areas, such as a planned initiative on mental health. Employee representatives state that the public will receive ”significantly worse services“. A year after implementation over 90% of doctors in the affected hospitals considered the Epic system a threat to patient health, and hospital staff organised large demonstrations at seven hospitals that had or were planning on implementing Epic systems. Helse Midt-Norge today forced Helse Møre og Romsdal in Norway to start with Epic / Helseplattformen even if M&R's own board voted against it. Helse Midt has sunk billions of NOK into Epic's trash heap already. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Systems#Norwegian_experience Was it Shaggar that worked at Epic? Maybe this should be a callout thread

i forgot to add uk's epic system to the topic anyone know what they called epic over there? you know epic's expensive since every installation must get its own name

every installation of epic is unique because they write code to order for each customer.

epic was deployed in Danish hospitals back in 2016 which similarly depressing results https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/06/epic-denmark-health-1510223 quote:The problems were evident from the start. Epic’s medical terms were not tagged for easy translation, so Galster and his colleagues had to rely on Google Translate. There were howlers. “C-section,” in the Danish version, referred to an executive suite, not an emergency birth procedure. The American specialty “speech and language pathologist” does not exist in Denmark. The Danish system for a short time offered surgeons the choice of amputating the left leg or the “correct” leg.

yeah it's exactly the same issues in norway. and helse midt knew about the issues with sundhetsplatformen before themselves going for epic, it's kinda baffling they did

a shame it's so difficult to find articles about helseplattformen that is in english and not paywalled. https://www-nrk-no.translate.goog/m...&_x_tr_pto=wapp

she worked for epic and dealt with mumps as part of that. mumps is a language/database thing that a ton of EHRs are based on.

the oldest ones tend to be mumps based, but anything new they're probably moving away from mumps cause its not great to develop in
