![]() ![]() One of the more curious aspects of UGM this year was the near total lack of discussion on the migration to value-based care. With ever tightening margins for most healthcare organizations, this message was well-received. Claiming to have over 700 benchmarks developed to date to measure anything from clinical workflows to an analyst’s use of Epic’s analytics tools, Carl provided some good examples of how an organization can improve workforce performance. Saw numerous examples in presentations by Epic clients of their use of CareEverywhere to enable care coordination across a heterogeneous EHR network, commonly found among today’s Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).Įpic C.O.O., Carl Dvorak’s keynote was far more pragmatic focusing on how organizations can derive greater ROI from their Epic EHR through benchmarking. The company has also made pretty strong headway on the interoperability front, exchanging some 3.5 million records daily – over a third from non-Epic EHRs. Today, over 200 clients have developed some 500+ models that work within Epic and that number grows daily. The company is also aggressively looking to create a store for new ML/AI models. Today, over 100 third-party apps are now available within their App Orchard and a couple of hundred more are in the wings (for more on exactly what App Orchard can and cannot do, Chilmark recently profiled it in our report on health care app stores). To Epic’s credit, over the last few years, they have opened up to a significant degree – at least relative to their past walled garden approach to the market. Just how open that virtual system Judy speaks of is to other, competing healthcare solutions is unclear. Healthcare providers, particularly large academic medical centers, may be wary of submitting their data for others to use, even for research. While this is a new release, today Epic has only convinced a small handful of customers to participate. That would be incredibly cool as today there are about 200 million patients with health data in an Epic EHR.īut there may be a tear in the Cosmos. Cosmos is a hosted data warehouse built on Caboodle stack and will include a hosted version of Epic’s analytics toolset, Slicer-Dicer that researchers can use to explore the data. At Epic’s recent UGM conference in Verona, WI, CEO Judy Faulkner painted a very big vision of the future – “One Virtual System Worldwide.” She was speaking to the Epic faithful on where Epic and its customers would travel next, a place in the cosmos leading to dramatic breakthroughs in clinical science by phenotyping the de-identified EHR data of all Epic clients.Ī foundational element to that virtual system is a new platform, Cosmos.
