From plans to launch new applications to detailing how it conducts multiday immersion trips at health systems, here are seven updates on Epic’s operations, software products and partnerships as reported by Becker’s Hospital Review in March:
- In early March, Tallahassee (Fla.) Memorial HealthCare completed its Epic EHR transition.
- On March 22, Ithaca, N.Y.-based Cayuga Health and Elmira, N.Y.-based Arnot Health made the switch to Epic.
- Epic detailed to Becker’s how it conducts multiday immersion trips at health systems to both educate the organizations on how to use the company’s EHR and learn more about healthcare’s technology needs.
- Epic founder and CEO Judy Faulkner wrote in a March 3 blog post about how she keeps costs down for Epic customers.
- Epic told Becker’s that it is developing AI agents that can autonomously perform tasks that used to require humans. One of the AI agents can identify care gaps and proactively reach out to patients to schedule appointments, and foresee hospital capacity bottlenecks.
- Ryan Smith, chief digital and information officer at Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health, told Becker’s that the health system is in the process of consolidating 8 EHRs into a single instance of Epic.
- In a March 4 press release, the EHR vendor detailed that it would be releasing new tools and applications including expanding its app ecosystem, organ donor registration for its patient portal and a new clinical trials management system.
