And not just the US. This year, our R&D staff observed workflows in 13 other countries.

There's no substitute for being there. This year, our R&D staff went onsite in every single state to observe the software alongside the people who use it.

No sunsets.

Launchpad has become an implementation engine. Four waves in, healthcare orgs are rolling out gen AI workflows in tight, predictable sprints. Each wave has delivered more than the last—and faster.

MYCHART WRAPPED

MyChart patients: help shape what’s next. Share your feedback in usability tests and interviews with our R&D teams.

Researchers in the Cosmos community continue to publish new studies using Cosmos. Here are several from last quarter. 🧵

Health records exchanged in a single day using Epic:

We love an integrated system.

The first statewide launch of MyChart Central is now live in Louisiana!

MyChart now supports the new Bluetooth Generic Health Sensor specification, making it easier to upload health information from a device like a blood pressure cuff or a smart scale. #OpenatEpic

The Clarity data model is now available for license. Developers interested in bulk data exchange now have a new option, opening another path for working with population-level data alongside Kit and Bulk FHIR, which remain available. #OpenatEpic

Over 110 Epic additional APIs are now available in a self-service catalog for developers who participate in Vendor Services.   This is in addition to the over 800 publicly available APIs already available.

More than 40 Playbooks are now available to help developers get started with common use cases— bringing together best practices for common data exchange requests. #OpenatEpic

Developers: we’ve expanded Sandbox testing capabilities. New workflows are available for you to create test data, visualize common data exchange patterns, and review the results of your API calls in test records.

This includes the new Developer Guide—an overview of how to bring your app to life. The guide gives developers a roadmap to go from app idea, to connection technology selection, to collaborating with the Epic community.

We've updated open.epic.com, our developer site, and showroom.epic.com, our app marketplace — making it easier for developers to build and deploy with Epic, and for healthcare organizations to explore nearly 900 apps to find the right fit. #OpenatEpic

Comet is a new form of healthcare intelligence designed to help clinicians, health systems, and patients make more informed decisions. By predicting what is likely to happen next in a patient’s journey, Comet estimates risk of disease, length of stay, treatment outcomes, and more.

A first: Open@Epic Conference Sept 25 · Verona, WI On the docket: - technology, support, and programs available from Epic - FHIR R&D roadmap (a behind-the-scenes peek) - strengthening industry standards through shared participation Registration is Open@ open.epic.com

Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) are rare and hard to study. @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social and @stanfordneuro.bsky.social ‬used Cosmos to get the largest snapshot to date. bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

America needs a national healthcare directory. Dr. Oz has it right. Every day, sick patients are sent to medical providers who no longer practice where the patients were told to go. These breakdowns delay necessary care, increase stress on families, drive up waste, and open up the govt. to fraud.

One year ago, organizations began using Epic AI to surface insights from radiology reports—like lung nodules—that could otherwise go overlooked.

Here are some highlights from our response to HHS's RFI re: building a tech ecosystem that prioritizes patients' access to their info, ensures physicians can base care decisions on complete and accurate medical records, and reduces administrative burden by improving payer-provider communication.

Some recent data-sharing stats. More updates coming. And lots more to do.

It takes an average of 7 months to receive a decision on a disability application with SSA. EHR interoperability can cut that time in half.

Epic Nexus now has more than 1,000 hospitals and 22,000 clinics live on TEFCA.

Yum.

To quickly operationalize gen AI-assisted workflows, organizations are working together—alongside Epic experts—through a new program called Launchpad. The program features a starter kit of gen AI use cases, helping orgs move from idea to operational gains in a matter of days.

Welcome to Bristol!

It’s exciting to see organizations embrace the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement—TEFCA for short—a single on-ramp to secure, nationwide health-information exchange.

Another open-source tool is available in our AI Trust & Assurance Suite—this time to evaluate AI-generated patient summaries.

Something new: conversational SMS scheduling using Epic. Health systems can give you the ability to schedule an appointment with help from an AI assistant. No hold music, no need to log in. In use with early adopters now.

Our friends at @multicarehealth.bsky.social are using interoperability with the VA to more effectively address veterans' service-related health risks, connect eligible vets with VA resources, and improve overall care coordination. Check out their story: www.multicare.org/vitals/raisi...

Welcome to Verona, experts!

When we started, medical records were rarely electronic—let alone shared across the continuum. Departments were isolated. Facilities too. The patient story was fragmented. So we created an integrated system, centered around the patient. It’s called Chronicles.

2. Do not acquire or be acquired.

Imagine losing a loved one and then continuing to receive healthcare appointment reminders for months afterward. This happens to families across America because there isn’t a coordinated system to notify doctors when people die outside of the hospital.

A few thoughts on gen AI: - AI should be a helpful support tool. - AI should be integrated into workflows. - AI should be trustworthy, with security and privacy at its core. 🧵

We open-sourced a tool to help anyone evaluate whether an AI model works where it counts—in their own workflows, on their own data. Use it with any model—ours, yours, or anyone else’s. 👇

New to Bluesky. Let’s start with intros.
