Epic very much is poised to take over and every week it appears a new large healthcare center makes the switch to it. I think the hard lesson everyone must learn eventually is that they have to take control of/become deeply involved with their healthcare as much as possible, because dragons are everywhere. For the average person acute care is not needed when they're thinking of reaching out to the doctor, and they shouldn't because elevating level of intervention can quickly result in shit: got a headache or a hip injury? The doctors will give you a plethora of CT scans and you end up with cancer. Got pain? They'll give you opioids so you end up with crippling addiction. It's true on a national level: https://www.wesh.com/article/us-health-care-worst-outcomes-high-income-countries-new-report/42745709 https://www.wesh.com/article/us-health-care-worst-outcomes-h... and at a local level iatrogenesis is seen abound. Indeed, of paramount importance for us is to learn how to take care of ourselves by going back to the basics (avoid processed diets, increase fibre-intake, etc, exercise (for the strength gains, for the endorphins and cardio/conditioning, for better bone density so that the body can whether through injuries better), cultivate your link to a positive community so it is there for you in your time of need). And download Epic and learn about healthcare/medicines and take charge as much as possible of your own fate. But when faced with a truly acute problem, see a specialist doctor and follow their commands.
