If I was as incompetent as you are at your job, my patients would all be dead. Can you not Google or look through a list? Jeeeeezus.

I have to agree with the others. The link to the list Epic *publishes* of customers has already been posted. It's not incredibly hard to Google any of those institutions and find out location, public/private facility and rough number of beds a facility has.

You said your client wants the info - seems like you should be compiling it. Eventually it will become evident that you are having others do it for you.

You were expecting that we would do your work for you? This is an Internet forum, not an IT Help site. Even then, responders have very generously done your work for you.

From now on, do your own d*** work.

Homework most likely, methinks.

This does sound like a student in an Informatics or HCA program. And a student with limited knowledge of healthcare to knowhow to get some of that 'other' data for 'his client'.

i am hired by my client to perform this task ? isn't there any way to get the above list ??

Let me get this straight. YOU have been hired to perform this task.. and you post a nursing website to do it for you?

Many of us USE Epic, but do NOT know their business data.

Thanks for the info, but i need only US list. so i have to manually check that ?

Mr. Awan,

Are you still on this thread or have you left?

I suspect that you joined this BB to find this information (being your profile is new and this is the only thread you participated in).

I hope that you are there, because I am going to give you some more information on EPIC.

First, if one were to read the end user license agreement (EULA) one would see that it prohibits users from discussing any aspect of the product on public forums. This is standard in the EMR arena to prevent users from disclosing how bad their systems really are.

I suspect from your grammar and name you are a citizen of the British Commonwealth. You were probably hired by a third party vendor looking to sell their third party EPIC add on in the US. Possibly are you from Ireland or Mumbai (tech centers in the commonwealth)?

The individual facilities are easily [data] mineable” if you know where to look. Like others have stated, I am not going to do your work for you.

This lack of knowledge and naiveté may also be due to your client is a hacker looking to ransom hospital data through a flaw they may have discovered in EPIC.

They (experienced hackers) hire someone inexperienced and naive that would go on the Internet soliciting a list of US hospitals using a specific EMR system (in light of all the warnings from the FBI after multiple hospital data ransoms).

Just saying...

So it is illegal to ask for these types of info? please can you suggest me what i sould say to my client who is asking for the info. i really don't know why he wants that info and what is the major reason behind it. please guide me. and i'm not asking you to work for me, just need help and your kind guidline.

thanks.

Umm you might want to check your geography and history. Ireland is not part of the BC. And English is our first language.
