By facilitating secure, patient-driven data exchange, the Epic Share Everywhere platform enhances care continuity, reduces communication gaps, and empowers individuals to take an active role in managing their health.
This article will explore how Epic Share Everywhere works, its benefits for patients and providers, and its role in advancing interoperability and patient-centered care.
Improving Patient Care with Interoperability
Epic Share Everywhere is a critical component of the Epic EHR landscape, enabling healthcare providers to access and share patient data securely, improve care coordination, and promote better health outcomes.
With Share Everywhere, patients can grant temporary access to healthcare providers, including school nurses and physical therapists, to access their medical records and other relevant health information.
The Share Everywhere platform is particularly useful for patients who need to share their medical information with non-Epic users, such as chiropractors, emergency responders, or urgent care staff. It makes it easier for healthcare providers to access patient health data and historical records, including medications, allergies, and treatment history, providing more personalized care across the continuum.
How Does Share Everywhere Work?
Epic Share Everywhere gives care providers temporary access to patient information, ensuring providers can access, view, and leverage patient information to improve care and drive better health outcomes. Users can generate a share code in MyChart to give those taking care of them temporary access to their medical records from any browser or device.
Using any browser, the selected providers can view critical health information and exchange notes back and forth to ensure care teams are informed throughout the entire care lifecycle.
Benefits of Epic Share Everywhere for Health Systems
With the Epic Share Everywhere tool, patients can securely share their medical records with any provider, even those who are not on the Epic network. This streamlined connection between patients and their care teams empowers better overall care coordination and reduces errors across the complete patient care continuum.
Here are a few key benefits of the Epic Share Everywhere platform for patients and providers:
- Access a patient’s medical record, including their personal electronic health record (EHR) for a more personalized care plan.
- Share patient data with national networks, including Epic customers in other organizations, to improve health outcomes and collaboration across systems.
- Maintain a secure way for providers to access and share patient data to reduce the risk of data breaches and improve patient trust.
- Leverage intuitive patient management tools to improve overall care, reduce costs, and ensure patient satisfaction across the care lifecycle.
- Empower patients to actively participate in their healthcare journey and ensure their information is accessible wherever they go.
- Provide access to vital health records without the need for direct system-to-system integrations, advancing interoperability in healthcare.
- Ensure that patient data is shared securely and complies with privacy regulations such as HIPAA.
