Epic is a privately held health care software company founded in 1979 by Judy Faulkner.[2] Originally headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, Epic began moving staff to a new campus[3] in Verona, Wisconsin in late 2005. Nearly all of Epic's staff are based in the greater Madison area.
Epic's market focus is large health care organizations involved in making substantial long term financial investment in technology. Epic offers an integrated suite of health care software centered on a MUMPS database. Their applications support functions related to patient care, including registration and scheduling; clinical systems for doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, and other care providers; systems for lab technicians, pharmacists, and radiologists; and billing systems for insurers.
Epic had a partnership with Philips to develop a scaled-down version of Epic's software, called Xtenity, which was marketed to mid-sized health care organizations. However, this partnership ended on September 29, 2006, as no organizations used Xtenity in a production environment.
