Software customization firms, including CodePartners, BeaconPartners, or larger consulting firms, such as IBM, for example, are in great range of both number and IT solutions, and they must be serving someone. There is certainly quite a bit of report customization (or “personalization”) for the hospitals, but the IT firms also help in go-live and workflow maximization after the go-live, which is also a sort of customization. I would also suggest other optimizations that people are looking for include enabling Epic modules to collect data from databases (such as a variety of children’s statistics) which are not default information in Epic. Others include viewing or suppressing certain information, or rearranging it according to what each practice is doing with the module.

Epic Systems Customizations or “Personalization?”
Healthcare Informatics published an article in its June 2008 issue, entitled “Behind the Curtain,” in which Carl Dvorak, executive vice president is asked about the reports that hospitals who adopt Epic are find themselves doing many customizations after the go-live. How true is this? In the article, Dvorak states that it’s not really customization, but personalization of templates’ look which the author of the article, Mark Hagland, has in mind. Dvorak reasons that nobody really customizes software these days.
