The system has a long history with innovation on the provider side, too: In 2014 it became the first in the country to integrate its Epic EHR with Apple HealthKit. When it launched innovationOchsner, the system announced a three-year health innovation challenge in collaboration with GE Healthcare that offers a $25,000 prize pool for ideas to help solve some of healthcare’s most pressing problems.
