Key Points:
- Epic Systems founder Judy Faulkner annually presents the company's latest innovations to over 20,000 attendees at a deeply buried Wisconsin auditorium, setting a technological roadmap for U.S. hospitals.
- This year’s meeting is under heightened scrutiny due to Epic facing multiple unprecedented challenges, including antitrust lawsuits and investigations into its business practices by state and federal authorities.
- The company is also grappling with questions about its artificial intelligence strategy and a recent departure of key technology leaders.
- Epic, founded nearly 50 years ago, remains the dominant electronic health records software provider in the United States despite these emerging issues.
