Watch-outs

• Epic and Cerner dominate large academic medical center market: Epic captures approximately 40% of US hospital EHR market and Cerner/Oracle Health another 25% — MEDITECH Expanse is strongest in community and critical access hospitals but has less market share at academic medical centers.
• AI capabilities are less advanced than Epic for complex analytics: Epic's AI research capabilities and Cosmos data network provide more sophisticated ML analytics than MEDITECH — large health systems prioritizing cutting-edge AI clinical intelligence tend toward Epic.
• Implementation is a major hospital program: EHR implementations at hospitals are significant multi-year programs — organizations must carefully plan go-live timelines and training programs regardless of EHR vendor.
