Central Norway started introducing Epic (branded “Helseplattformen”) in November 2022. After approximately two months, the public broadcaster NRK reported that around 25% of the doctors at the region's main hospital considered quitting their job, and that 40% were experiencing stress related health issues due to the new IT system.[47] Previously, health personnel actively demonstrated against the software by marching though the city of Trondheim.[48] Due to the chaos ensuing the introduction, including 16.000 letters not being sent to patients, the Norwegian CEO of the Helseplattformen IT project, Torbjørg Vanvik, had her employment ended by the board.[49] Unexpected cost increases forced the authorities to decrease efforts in other areas, such as a planned initiative on mental health.[50] Employee representatives state that the public will receive ”significantly worse services“.[51] A year after implementation over 90% of doctors in the affected hospitals considered the Epic system a threat to patient health,[52] and hospital staff organised large protests at seven hospitals that had or were planning on implementing Epic systems.[53]
