Innovators Convene at Epic's Inaugural European Group Meeting to Address Global Healthcare Challenges

"EGM goes a step beyond other industry conferences," said Dr. Ari Ercole, Interim Chief Clinical Information Officer, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (Cambridge, UK). "We discussed the challenges we're facing and how technology can help, and I left with concrete, actionable plans to improve the lives of the patients I serve. It's a must not only for hospital digital teams but also for decision makers who want to see opportunities for using the electronic health record for transformation."

Healthcare organisations around the world are having to do more with less, as clinician shortages combine with an aging population and an increased demand for specialised services. At EGM, participants shared specific ways that they are meeting these challenges to help their peers in Europe and worldwide implement similar approaches. Example topics included:

"This conference highlighted the value in working together at a global level, on a shared technological platform, to provide exemplary patient experiences while improving clinician wellbeing," said Pippa Kassam, Chief Nursing Officer at Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (Exeter, UK). "It was particularly special and exciting being part of the first-ever EGM. The event was organised with such precision and thought for Epic's Europe-based customers."

EGM will be held annually to bring together providers, technology experts, and industry leaders in advancing healthcare in Europe and around the world.
