Epic is working with the Social Security Administration and Chicago-based Access Community Health Network to make it easier for patients to apply for disability benefits.

The connection is intended to modernize the disability insurance application process, ease administrative work for Access staff and reduce wait times for applicants by about half, the organization said in a Sept. 25 news release.

Since the effort began in late 2024, nearly 4,000 patients have authorized Access and the Social Security Administration to exchange medical records electronically through Epic.
