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.

no, I think she worked on mumps stuff

I want to say it was tori but iirc he works in health insurance adjustment/claims software, which is probably an even more disgusting branch of all-american medtech

i thought epic systems were mumps stuff

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.

if norway is anything like sweden, the procurement process is driven by people who have been doing procurement forever, but for stuff like snow plowing or bathroom supplies for schools and why change a winning concept?

i'm guessing that + epic had the best powerpoint deck and the most expensive representation dinner/open bar
