What is the Epic Compass Rose Module?

Epic Compass Rose is a comprehensive care coordination application designed as an extension of Epic Healthy Planet to increase care coordination across all areas of a hospital or health system and improve the overall quality of patient care.

Epic Compass Rose combines functionality from Epic Healthy Planet, Social Care, and Coordinated Care Management under one umbrella to facilitate better management of patient information and improve the patient experience.

The Compass Rose module enables users to…

• Conduct Epic social determinants of health screening and outline in patient records
• Assess patient social determinants of health (SODH) data to help providers make referrals for social services
• Leverage comprehensive software to manage and track patient outcomes
• Enroll patients in community-based programs

Epic’s care management module is also based on the eight standard domains by the National Academy of Medicine, intended to improve interoperability and consistency within the industry. The module not only emphasizes patient-centered care throughout healthcare organizations, but also improves the continuity of care throughout a patient’s entire care lifecycle.

What is Epic Healthy Planet?

Epic Healthy Planet is a population health tool that helps healthcare systems facilitate better care processes throughout their organization and improve overall population health management both within and outside of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).

With the Healthy Planet module, primary care physicians and other medical providers can leverage dashboards, reports, and workflow management tools to not only manage individual patient data more effectively, but also seamlessly integrate clinical information system (CIS) information with health-determinant information within the Epic System.

The integrated tools within the Healthy Planet solution enable users to monitor and manage patient care over time, helping them make informed decisions, regardless of where a patient receives care.

Epic Healthy Planet provides the functionality needed to not only monitor, manage, and maintain data through a centralized data warehouse, but also to offer a more comprehensive view of patient care throughout the organization.

With Epic Healthy Planet, healthcare organizations can…

• Leverage integration tools to coordinate patient care delivery more efficiently throughout the entire organization

• Accurately monitor quality measures and cost of care

What is the Epic Healthy Planet Link Solution?

Healthy Planet Link (HPL) is Epic’s solution designed to monitor and maintain population health and provide care management tools for organizations that do not use the same EHR platform across their network.

With Epic HPL, referring physicians, referred physicians, and other support staff are given the tools and resources needed to…

• Review clinical and administrative information for shared patients

• Identify gaps in patient care and outline resolutions for each gap

How Can the Epic Healthy Planet Link Help?

Healthy Planet Link is Epic’s web-based portal for community-based organizations, and, with Compass Rose, providers can access medical information about unhoused patients, including vital signs and lab results, anytime they need it via desktop or mobile devices.

With a solution like Compass Rose, healthcare organizations can leverage social care and population health programs to identify target populations and provide the functionality needed to address key SDOHs and improve health equity across the board.

The collaboration between Compass Rose and Healthy Planet Link not only provides connections between patients and local programs, but also helps companies meet organizational care management requirements, strengthening the circle of care between patients and providers, and meeting the needs of individual patients and the community as a whole.
