Epic Headquarters
About this video
A doctor tours Epic headquarters after his hospital switched electronic health records, and staff celebrate being the least disliked option rather than a simple one. Flanary portrays Epic’s culture as devoted to endless customization, with dozens of ways to find the same information and developers who must keep building features. The sketch satirizes EHR complexity as a product philosophy that serves the system more than clinicians asking for simplification.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays Epic as winning by comparison with worse competitors
- The sketch argues customization is treated as an end in itself
- His point is that clinician requests for simplicity conflict with the vendor’s model
