Except that today was our first monthly staff meeting. As I mentioned in the last post, all employees are required to be there, in one room, so that's approaching 5000 employees in one auditorium. I think it's pretty cool that we do that still. We all get popcorn because it used to be held in a movie theater. I guess it's basically like having a shareholders meeting since we're a private company and it's all CEO/employee owned.
Anyway, obviously I can't say everything about it, but we got to hear about all of our newest customers and what they would be paying for our software, and several of them had videos about themselves, some quite funny (in a good, intended way). Plus, Epic just had its first European Users Group Meeting with our three clients in the Netherlands as well as prospective clients there. That's obviously our exciting new frontier.
We also spent quite some time talking about Joplin, MO and the tornado because the hospital in Joplin is our client. They had been live for only three weeks, so it was really amazing to see how our software made the disaster a little bit easier for the patients and staff there. With paper, all patient records might have been destroyed, but now Epic was able to print out all the current patient records within a few hours and have them sent immediately to the rescue workers and staff there on the scene.
Finally, we had a good one hour of speaking and Q&A with our CEO, Judy Faulker, who seems like an incredible woman. We voted as a company on certain things, and anyone could just get up and comment on anything. It was a pretty incredible atmosphere.
Plus, I'll just note that one client went live with Beacon, my application [oncology], in Hawaii, so.....let's hope for an immersion trip.
Alright, time to cook dinner and go to trivia. Hope all is well with you.
Cheers,
