- goda90 6y agoEpic does do UI/UX studies. It's got a lot of legacy code to plow through, combined with regulatory and customization demands that lead to best UX practices having to be bypassed sometimes. Striking a balance between too much information and having a clinician miss critical information because it was hidden behind a click or hover bubble is always a concern. Regarding the campus, the theming is actually quite cheap. The bigger expenses come from employee QOL stuff like roomy underground parking to keep cars out of the snow.

She's the CEO of one of the largest companies in the health tech industry, and almost no one has heard of her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Faulkner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Faulkner https://www.forbes.com/self-made-women/#68196cf36d96 https://www.forbes.com/self-made-women/#68196cf36d96
