Approaches to Moving Epic in the Cloud 2023
21 March 23
| Emily Paxman and Mike Smith
The benefits of public cloud are promising, as many Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft customers (both provider organizations and vendors ) have noted in previous KLAS research. The first health systems using a public hyperscale cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure) to support their EHR environment in the cloud have begun to go live, and interest in this approach is gaining momentum, particularly among Epic organizations. Most who are pursuing this path are just beginning their journey, but some are actively selecting their public cloud provider and planning next steps. KLAS recently interviewed 10 organizations who are considering moving part or all of their Epic environment to the cloud. This report shares which public cloud providers they are considering, what Epic environments they may move to the cloud, what goals and concerns they have, and what role third-party firms will play in the transition.
Note: Epic reports having 6 customers with their full production environment in the public cloud, 97 customers with their full production environment in Epic’s private cloud, and the rest primarily on-premises.
