Epic Systems Corporation is a privately held health care software company founded in 1979 by Judy Faulkner. Originally headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, Epic began moving staff to a new $300 million campus in Verona, Wisconsin in late 2005. Nearly all of Epic's staff are based in the greater Madison area. Epic has a European office in 's-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch), Netherlands.
Epic's target market is large health care organizations who are making substantial investments in technology. Epic offers an integrated suite of health care software centered around a hierarchical MUMPS/Caché database. Their applications support all the functions related to patient care: Registration and scheduling systems for clerks; clinical systems for doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, and other care providers; ancillary systems for lab technicians, pharmacists, and radiologists; and billing systems for care providers as well as insurers. All applications leverage the same central database.
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. This partnership ended on September 29, 2006, and no organizations used Xtenity in a production environment. Epic hired many of the former Philips employees from the Netherlands who helped establish Epic's European location.
Since 2006, Epic has increasingly been working on expansion into the international health care market. In 2007, Epic established a subsidiary in the Netherlands to market Epic software.
