Other healthcare IT companies using MUMPS include Epic, MEDITECH, GE 
Healthcare (formerly IDX Systems and Centricity), AmeriPath (part of 
Quest Diagnostics), Care Centric, Allscripts, Coventry Healthcare, EMIS, 
and Sunquest Information Systems (formerly Misys Healthcare). Many 
reference laboratories, such as DASA, Quest Diagnostics, and Dynacare, 
use MUMPS software written by or based on Antrim Corporation code. 
Antrim was purchased by Misys Healthcare (now Sunquest Information 
Systems) in 2001.

EPIC is the biggest.
