EMR Comparison
Krasyn vs. Epic
Epic is built for hospital systems. Krasyn is built for outpatient medicine — AI-native documentation, no hospital overhead, and a go-live measured in weeks, not years.

Epic
Estimate — Epic does not publish pricing. Annual contracts start at ~$30K for small ambulatory orgs.
One-time implementation and configuration cost, excluding hardware and ongoing support.
Most practices require dedicated Epic-certified administrators or contracted support.
Why Physicians Switch from Epic
Three recurring pain points we hear from practices exploring a move away from Epic.
Hospital complexity in an outpatient clinic
Epic was designed for large hospital systems and inpatient workflows. Outpatient clinics inherit inpatient order sets, bed management modules, and surgical scheduling interfaces that have no relevance to ambulatory care — adding cognitive load to every encounter.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn is built exclusively for outpatient medicine. Every interface element, workflow, and feature was designed for ambulatory care — there is no inpatient scaffolding underneath.
Months of implementation before seeing a patient
Epic implementations for ambulatory practices routinely run 6–18 months, require Epic-certified project managers, and demand significant IT staff time — all before the system is live. Delays cascade when configuration decisions are made without clinical input.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn is structured for 4–8 week go-lives for outpatient practices. Migration planning, data extraction, and training are scoped to the practice — not to hospital-scale requirements.
Ongoing dependency on Epic-certified staff
Customizing workflows, building reports, or configuring order sets in Epic requires Epic-certified analysts. Most small-to-mid-size practices pay external consultants at a significant hourly rate for changes that should take minutes.
Krasyn's answer
Krasyn is self-configurable. Workflow changes, note templates, and scheduling rules do not require a certified administrator or a support ticket to a third-party implementation firm.
What Makes Krasyn Different
AI-native SOAP notes
Ambient AI drafts structured clinical notes during the encounter — HPI, ROS, assessment, and plan — grounded against the visit transcript. Providers review and sign; they do not dictate or type from scratch.
Real-time E/M + ICD-10 coding
As the note is drafted, E/M level and ICD-10 codes are suggested with confidence scores and supporting context — surfacing undercoding opportunities before the encounter closes.
DPC-first pricing
Krasyn was designed around the economics of independent outpatient medicine — including Direct Primary Care. Membership billing is built-in, not an add-on.
No per-seat lock-in
Krasyn bills at the practice level, not per provider seat. Add a covering physician, a PA, or a nurse practitioner without a pricing cliff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Krasyn support the same outpatient workflows as Epic Ambulatory?
Krasyn covers the core outpatient workflow loop: scheduling, intake, AI-assisted encounter documentation, billing code review, results, telehealth, and patient portal. It is an outpatient-only platform, so it does not include inpatient, surgical, or hospital-system modules that Epic Ambulatory inherits from the broader Epic stack.
Can a small or mid-size practice realistically move away from Epic?
Yes. Practices that do not need hospital-scale workflows can evaluate Krasyn as a focused outpatient alternative. The key questions are data migration scope (demographics, notes, medications, labs, billing history) and workflow re-mapping — both of which are part of a structured migration assessment.
How does Krasyn handle data migration from Epic?
Krasyn uses Epic FHIR APIs, CCDA exports, and — where available — bulk-data paths to extract agreed categories: demographics, active medications, problem lists, allergies, clinical notes, lab results, imaging references, and scheduling history. The migration is scoped, validated record-by-record, and includes a parallel-review window before cutover.
What happens to MyChart access after switching?
Krasyn includes a patient portal. Patients transition to the Krasyn portal for messaging, appointment requests, and result review. If your practice is affiliated with a hospital system that requires MyChart continuity, that is a workflow dependency to evaluate during a fit review.
Is Krasyn a better fit for independent practices than for health systems?
Krasyn is designed specifically for independent outpatient practices and physician groups that do not need the full surface area of a hospital EMR. Health systems with inpatient, ED, or surgical workflows should evaluate a hospital-grade platform.
