Enterprise Document Management: Navigating the Shift to Epic Gallery
Healthcare organizations rely on Enterprise Document Management (EDM) systems to handle unstructured documents—such as faxes, referral notes, and HR or finance records—that fall outside core EHR workflows. These systems integrate deeply with platforms like Epic and ERP solutions to streamline storage, tagging, and workflow management.
What’s Changing?
Epic is investing heavily in its Gallery solution, signaling a major market shift. Many Epic customers are moving toward Gallery for tighter integration, simplified vendor management, and cost efficiency. This evolution impacts traditional best-of-breed EDM vendors and creates new opportunities for organizations seeking a unified technology stack.
