Epic Systems Corp. is about to launch its own app store — much like Apple’s App Store — opening the door for outside companies to create applications that will work with Epic’s widely used electronic health records systems.
Mark Bakken, co-founder and former chief executive of Nordic Consulting, the largest consultant firm working with customers of Verona-based Epic, stirred up excitement about the plan Tuesday at a luncheon meeting of the Wisconsin Innovation Network.
Bakken said the app store will launch in a few weeks and it will “open the floodgates” for all sorts of companies to develop and market their apps, especially those in the Madison area populated by former Epic employees.
