dear god...it's about time[1]...except I shudder to think what their concept of "the web" might be
[1]aside from being a long-suffering user of Meditech, I am also a long-suffering user of Epic, who had the misfortune of going through "mandatory Epic training" at 4 separate institutions that were transitioning to it from Meditech, or pencil and paper. I am still not sure which of the three systems were the most technologically advanced...
I find Epic to be more horrifying than Meditech, because Epic has somehow managed to convince many healthcare workers that it is a "modern" product worthy of praise, despite all evidence to the contrary. People talk about SmartPhrases like it's some miracle instead of a damn snippets manager (and a bad one at that).
The fact that they're moving away from VB6 to a web-based front-end in 2017 should be reason enough to assume that whatever they come out with is going to be excruciating.
