Epic is a healthcare software company whose electronic health record platform supports more than 400 health systems and over 325 million patients worldwide. Since its start in a Wisconsin basement in 1979, Epic’s mission has remained simple but ambitious: to help people get well, help people stay well, and help future generations be healthier.
Epic keeps the patient at the center of everything we build, from the clinical tools that support physicians and nurses to MyChart, which empowers hundreds of millions of patients to manage their health. Epic also develops scheduling and billing systems that improve the patient experience and keep care moving efficiently. The same platform supports population health and research, connecting daily care with discovery. Together, these systems give patients, providers, and researchers a more complete and connected view of health.
One of Epic’s most powerful resources for advancing this work is Cosmos, a de-identified database containing information from more than 300 million unique patients across participating organizations. Cosmos enables clinicians and researchers to study outcomes, explore population-level trends, and accelerate real-world evidence generation, all grounded in data from everyday care.
Epic’s teams include physicians, nurses, software developers, data scientists, and project managers, along with implementation specialists, technical support staff, UX designers, writers, and many others, all working to develop technology to make healthcare more effective, efficient, and connected.
