- crmrc114 3y agoIt's actually a pretty awesome product. Its used by some top EMRs like Epic and Meditech. I used to think this story was insane then I worked with EMRs. Multivalue databases have their place and are very good for people records. You will also see innersystems cache and iris used in many government and intelligence sectors.
