All the News from Epic's UGM, Unpacked

Are legacy Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems like Epic and Cerner truly safe from disruption? In this panel discussion, our guest experts dive into the future of healthcare IT and the limitations of incumbent tech giants.

While current software vendors focus on building tools that integrate into existing EHR workflows, the real disruptors are building entirely new care models from scratch. Our panel explores how the rise of entirely AI-driven, tech-enabled healthcare organizations could completely shift the balance of power in healthcare IT—and why true industry disruption requires more than just new tech, but regulatory and sociological evolution.

Key Takeaways

• The Vulnerability of Legacy EHRs: Why market leaders like Epic and Cerner are poorly optimized for modern, digital-first, or tech-enabled healthcare practices looking to "AI-agent everything."
• The Rise of AI-Agent Organizations: How novel care models could successfully capture and dominate profitable subsections of the healthcare market.
• Societal vs. Technological Evolution: Why major technological shifts in healthcare are ultimately derivative of changes in broad policy and regulation.
