Charles and Anthony discussed the history and evolution of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), starting from their inception under the Bush administration to the Obama era’s significant boost through the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and the Affordable Care Act. They highlighted the consolidation of the EHR market, with Epic emerging as a dominant player, while smaller vendors serve regional and mom-and-pop practices. Charles shared his personal journey with various EHR systems, including Cerner and Meditech, and mentioned that his hospital is transitioning to Epic in 2026, reflecting a national trend. They also touched on the integration of AI into healthcare operations and the anticipation of AI’s role in improving EHR systems. Thanks!
