2. The nonprofit health system, which comprises more than 15 medical centers, implemented Epic in 2011.

3. By migrating to a cloud platform, Novant Health aims to establish a more predictable cost model while improving business speed as well as avoiding the need to completely re-design its system every time a new change becomes necessary.
