Health systems moving to Epic, Oracle in 2026

Advertisement

Hospitals and health systems have kept swapping EHR vendors throughout 2026. Epic continues to add major health systems and community hospitals to its customer base, while Oracle Health’s marquee project involves one very large, very expensive customer: the federal government.

The trend lines back up the pattern. Epic closed out 2025 with 43.7% of the acute care hospital EHR market by share of hospitals, up from 42.3% the year before, according to KLAS Research data cited by Becker’s. Oracle Health, which absorbed Cerner in 2022, shed a net 56 hospitals and 14,676 beds in 2025 — its third straight year of net hospital losses. The vendor still held 21.9% of the market at year’s end, and KLAS has called 2026 a pivotal year for Oracle Health as it rolls out a new AI-enabled EHR platform.

Below are the hospitals and health systems that have gone live, or are set to go live, with each vendor this year, as reported by Becker’s and other outlets.

Epic

  • Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health is completing the largest single-instance Epic build in the country. The rollout across the system’s 92 hospitals includes a final implementation wave with Maywood, Ill.-based Loyola Medicine.
  • Minot, N.D.-based Trinity Health is slated to finish installing Epic on Nov. 1, a move the two-hospital system projects will generate nearly $1 billion in return on investment.
  • New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health, the 28-hospital system that is New York’s largest, will complete the third wave of its $1.2 billion, phased Epic migration in November, with a handful of hospitals still to convert after that, unifying more than 30 legacy EHRs onto a single platform. The system’s first wave went live in November 2025.
  • Pittsburgh-based UPMC will bring its second wave of hospitals onto Epic Oct. 3, continuing a consolidation of nine EHRs and roughly 6 million patient records at the 40-hospital system. UPMC’s first wave, covering 21 hospitals outside the Pittsburgh region, went live in September 2025; the health system expects the project to pay for itself within seven years.
