Overview

‍

Epic Systems is the leading electronic health record platform powering over 305 million patient records across large hospital systems and health networks worldwide. Stream Health's native Epic integration enables seamless, bidirectional data exchange for complete patient record consolidation and clinical insights. Our HL7/FHIR-compliant integration ensures secure, standards-based connectivity that hospital IT departments trust.

With Epic's widespread adoption in major health systems, Stream Health provides the infrastructure to unlock hidden revenue opportunities while maintaining zero workflow disruption for clinical staff. Our integration retrieves patient demographics, clinical notes, lab results, medications, problem lists, and encounter data—creating a complete longitudinal patient view that identifies billable care gaps.

‍

Key features:

‍

• HL7/FHIR API Connectivity: Standards-based integration compliant with ONC and CMS interoperability requirements. Secure authentication via OAuth 2.0 ensures HIPAA-compliant data exchange without compromising Epic system security.

‍

• Real-Time Data Synchronization: Automated patient record updates without manual intervention. Stream Health monitors Epic for new encounters, lab results, and clinical documentation, triggering immediate gap-in-care analysis and NP review workflows.

‍

• Bidirectional Clinical Integration: Consolidated patient summaries and identified care gaps sync back to Epic's chart review, problem list, and health maintenance modules. Clinicians access enriched insights without leaving their Epic workflow.

‍

• External Record Consolidation: Stream Health retrieves fragmented patient records from health information exchanges (HIEs), CommonWell, Carequality, and direct physician connections—consolidating everything into Epic's patient record for complete clinical visibility.

‍

How it works

‍

Stream Health connects to your Epic environment via secure FHIR APIs (or HL7 interfaces for legacy Epic versions), retrieving patient demographics, clinical documentation, lab results, medications, and encounter data. Our platform consolidates these records with external patient data from other providers, health information exchanges, and previous care settings.

Our AI-powered gap-in-care engine analyzes the complete patient history against evidence-based care guidelines (HEDIS, MIPS, ACO quality measures), identifying missed preventive care, chronic disease management gaps, and billable opportunities. Every identified care gap is reviewed by a licensed Nurse Practitioner to ensure clinical accuracy and appropriateness.

Consolidated patient summaries and actionable care gap alerts are delivered back to Epic via FHIR write-back, appearing in the chart review workflow, health maintenance section, and clinical decision support alerts. Revenue cycle teams receive detailed reports of billable opportunities tied to specific CPT codes and patient visits.

Benefits of integrating Epic with Stream Health

‍

• Zero Workflow Disruption: Clinicians access enriched patient data, care gap alerts, and consolidated summaries directly within Epic's native interface. No context switching, no separate portals, no additional training required.

‍

• Complete Patient Histories: Eliminate information gaps caused by fragmented care across multiple providers and systems. Stream Health consolidates external records, specialist notes, hospital discharge summaries, and diagnostic reports into Epic's longitudinal patient record.

‍

• Revenue Optimization: Systematic identification of billable care gaps unlocks $5M+ in new annual revenue for a 5,000-patient practice. Our platform identifies missed preventive services (immunizations, cancer screenings), chronic disease management opportunities (diabetes HbA1c monitoring, hypertension control), and high-value CPT-reimbursable services (CCM, RPM, AWV).

‍

• Value-Based Care Performance: Improve HEDIS, MIPS, and ACO quality measure performance through proactive care gap closure. Our integration provides the clinical intelligence needed to succeed in value-based contracts and shared savings arrangements.

‍

• Regulatory Compliance: Meet ONC and CMS interoperability requirements with certified FHIR connectivity. All data exchange is logged, auditable, and HIPAA-compliant, providing peace of mind for compliance and legal teams.

‍

• 2-3 Week Implementation: Unlike typical Epic integrations that take 6-12 months, Stream Health's pre-built FHIR connectors enable rapid deployment. Our team handles Epic sandbox testing, production validation, and go-live support with minimal burden on your IT department.
