At the end of the day, it's a simple record of the patient, not an IDE. Nurses need to see stuff, MDs need to see stuff.
FWIW, my goddamn opinion: Epic is probably the best EMR I've used, but I can still see some random dude's dog in Bolivia on FB faster than I can pull up a patient's critical lab values during a procedure. Not too worried about missing out on "Now your EMR comes with customizable colors! [dismiss]"
