"Social Democrats TD says management must explain bill for trips to software firm Epic"
"More than €374,000 has been spent by Children's Health Ireland on flights and accommodation for staff working on its electronic system to visit the US headquarters of an IT giant over the last three years."
"CHI awarded US-based Epic a €170m contract for its electronic health record (EHR) system in 2023."
Management must explain the bill for trips to the software firm Epic. Children's Health Ireland spent more than €374,000 on flights and accommodation over the last three years to enable staff working on its electronic system to visit Epic's US headquarters. The expenditure covered travel and lodging for site visits, training or collaboration tied to the system implementation. CHI awarded US-based Epic a €170m contract for its electronic health record (EHR) system in 2023. The scale of the contract and the travel costs raise questions about oversight, procurement value, and the justification for repeated overseas trips.
