From expanding interoperability efforts and launching AI-driven tools to forming new partnerships and educational offerings, here is a look at EHR vendor Epic Systems’ biggest moves so far in 2025, as reported by Becker’s:
- In June, Verona, Wis.-based Epic sent a letter to CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and ONC head Dr. Thomas Keane with its suggestions for improving the nation’s digital health infrastructure.
- Epic is continuing its push for interoperability. In June, the EHR vendor said more than 1,000 hospitals and 22,000 clinics using its software are now connected to the federally backed health information network, the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).
- In May, Epic unveiled a new initiative called Launchpad to help healthcare organizations implement generative AI-assisted workflows.
- Also in May, the company introduced Nursing SmartUser classes during National Nurses Week. The offering includes four one-hour virtual courses designed to help nurses better use Epic features to save time and reduce friction in clinical workflows.
- Epic launched another feature in May that allows patients to schedule appointments via conversational SMS with help from an AI assistant.
- In the same month, Abbott signed an agreement with Epic to integrate data from its Libre continuous glucose monitoring systems directly into Epic’s platforms. The integration lets healthcare providers access glucose data from patients’ LibreView accounts within Epic’s Aura software.
- Earlier, in February, Epic said it would expand its patient identity verification capabilities by integrating CLEAR, a secure identity company, into its Epic Toolbox.
