An electronic health record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient's paper chart. While an EHR does contain the medical and treatment histories of patients, an EHR system is built to go beyond standard clinical data collected in a provider's office and can be inclusive of a broader view of a patient's care (information from multiple doctors, hospitals, etc. When a provider wants to share that information with other providers, or with the patients in a patient portal, a developer integrates or connects the portal to Epic, so information can be shared between the two. This allows patients to update and view their records, request prescription refills, schedule appointments, view lab results and more. Clarity’s integration platform, Connect, has an Epic connector and we can help to integrate your Epic instance to any portal, website or mobile app.
