Epic has launched a new initiative to track health conditions at the county level and issue alerts when unusual trends emerge.
The feature, called Health Alerts, uses statistical models applied to real-world medical records to identify when rates of specific health conditions in a given county exceed expected levels. Each alert is reviewed by Epic’s research team before publication, according to an April 8 news release.
Epic Research is monitoring conditions nationwide and publishing alerts when elevated rates are detected, aiming to provide more localized visibility into emerging health trends.
Users can access a list of active alerts through Epic’s platform and opt in to receive email notifications. Subscribers are notified when elevated rates are first identified within a state and receive weekly summaries outlining active, new and resolved alerts, according to the release.
