What differentiates Epic from other similar products?

Epic is integrated across the hospital system.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Documenting is quick and easy.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The product is not oriented toward my discipline within the industry. Many of the tools in the product are useful, but not applicable to hospice chaplains or very limited for chaplains. For instance, care plans are limited and the calendar functions on a weekly basis when as a chaplain I work on a monthly basis. Other limitations around the Admin function limit it's usefulness as well.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend this product for nurses and clinical staff but not for professional staff unless more customization is possible.

Pros

Respectful
Security Protects
Trustworthy
Unique Features

Cons

Inhibits Innovation
Less Efficient Service
Less Inspiring
