The Epic Almanac, Volume 4

August 7, 2026

This magazine is an annual guide to share what’s growing, blooming, and taking root across the Epic community. The fourth volume brings together stories of innovation, insights into available programs, and a behind-the-scenes look into Epic. Just like its namesake, the Farmer’s Almanac, this publication is meant to help healthcare organizations prepare for what’s ahead—with a few moments of fun along the way.

Read the Epic Almanac, Volume 4 here. This year’s edition is packed with stories from across the Epic community, including:

How Emmie, Art, and Penny are redefining the patient experience, supporting clinicians, and saving healthcare organizations time and money
An early look at how Agent Factory is starting to help breakdown silos to automate actions in Epic
Ways rural healthcare providers are using technology to keep care closer to come
Health systems and health plans finding common ground
How the Epic community is using Cosmos to power research and advance medicine at the point of care

…and more. It also includes an inside look at Epic’s conferences, recipes from our kitchen, and some interactive fun.
