17 minutes
Watch this exclusive session where leaders from Epic and InterSystems reveal how they pushed performance limits to achieve real-world scale that serves clinicians and patients alike.
Why This Matters
In today’s healthcare ecosystem, scale has no limits. With mission-critcal systems supporting thousands of sites and millions of patient interactions in real time, the margin for error is razor thin. You’ll learn how:
- A bold target of 100 million global references per second (Grefs) became the new “normal” for large Epic customers
- Continuous performance gains led to over 100% improvements in CPU utilization and response times are now driving smoother clinician workflows
- A developer-to-developer partnership model turned collaboration into scale and innovation into outcomes
