As Epic begins deploying a new wave of capabilities across its EHR platform, health systems around the country are starting to go live with the updated tools and features.
Becker’s reported in August that Epic planned to introduce a broad set of enhancements in 2025. Now, many organizations on the platform are rolling out those capabilities and integrating them into clinical and operational workflows.
Here are some health systems and hospitals that have recently gone live with Epic’s new tools and features, as reported by Becker’s:
- Hershey, Pa.-based Penn State Health has signed on for Epic’s full AI suite and is weighing which tools to deploy on day one versus those better suited for the optimization period after launch. The six-hospital system kicked off its Epic implementation in June and expects to go live with the new EHR in late 2026.
- In November, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia went live with Epic’s AI Text Assistant, a generative AI tool designed to make clinical notes easier for patients to understand. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia was also one of the first organizations to pilot Epic’s new phenotyping AI tool.
- Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health went live with Epic’s MyChart Central in November.
- On Oct. 9th, health systems across Louisiana teamed up to launch MyChart Central, an Epic feature that allows patients to securely access their medical records through a single, unified login. Among the participating organizations include New Orleans-based Ochsner Health; Baton Rouge-based Baton Rouge General; New Orleans-based LCMC Health; Hammond-based North Oaks Health System; Baton Rouge-based Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System; Covington-based St. Tammany Parish Hospital; Lake Charles-based Lake Charles Memorial Health System; Houma-based Terrebonne General Health System; and Baton Rouge-based Woman’s Hospital.
