We use HL7 a lot, to get the data out of the crap little systems that departments buy because they saw it at a trade show, and into first our own EHR and now Epic.
Flipper where are you? If by "Cheese Country" you mean WI then we aren't that far apart.
Tobra you may not know the answer to this, but does your Epic provider have a DR site? We run from ours for 24hrs once every 6 months.
EHRs were driven by Medicare, to cut down on Medicare fraud. When we went live with Epic a few of our providers retired rather than have to deal with the system.
I had no idea there were that many people on this site in the healthcare field.
