Interoperability can and should be global. Our friends at Insel Gruppe and Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS) in Switzerland have reached a new interoperability milestone. Just last month, Insel Gruppe exchanged a patient’s electronic health record with Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System, marking the Swiss’ first international exchange of patient records. Last May, two Swiss hospitals—LUKS and Inselspital—shared a patient’s electronic record for the first time. Congrats, folks! Read more: https://lnkd.in/d7BbYF8H

Daniel! Next time you’re about to become famous, give us a heads up 😉 One of our development leads, Daniel Freiburger, spent a month in England last summer baking for Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. The Great American Baking Show, the Great British Baking Show, and Epic have at least one thing in common: delicious baked goods. Congrats, Daniel!

Our friends at UW Health provide children with a free book at every well-child visit. Their goal: foster a love of reading and strengthen the bond between parent and child—two ingredients of healthy development. And, as Dipesh Navsaria, pediatrician at UW Health and medical director of Reach Out and Read Wisconsin will tell you, there’s a lot a physician can learn about a child simply from how they interact with a book in the exam room. That information can then inform the comprehensive health record. Here’s to a life-long love of reading. #healthcare #healthIT #reading

Healthcare needs to trust AI—but trust can’t just be assumed. It needs to be continuously earned, validated, and refined. A recent paper in Nature Portfolio’s npj Health Systems, co-authored by folks from Epic, highlights why. Evaluating AI-generated clinical summaries isn’t simple. Surface-level metrics aren’t enough. You need to rigorously assess bias, omissions, accuracy, and real-world clinical impacts. As the paper points out, the future of safe AI in healthcare depends on building thoughtful, scalable ways to evaluate its performance. Our AI Trust and Assurance Suite helps healthcare organizations address these challenges. The open-source toolset lets them validate AI locally, track model performance continuously, and ensure equity for diverse patient populations.

Spring has sprung! Time to roll out of bed (or your den—all are welcome) and take your spot in the sun. These fuzzy fellas chose the campus theatron as their new home. #healthcare #healthIT #spring

It’s Global Recycling Day, and many Epic community members are doing great work to reduce waste (and help patients along the way). A few examples:   Providence uses Epic to encourage the use of a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective anesthetic agent. In the first seven years of the program, Providence decreased its anesthesia-related greenhouse gas emissions by 78% and saved $2.4 million annually.   UC Davis Health, University of Mississippi Medical Center, and The Queen's Health Systems use Epic to offer on-demand virtual visits that increase the convenience of care while keeping patients off the roads. They’re preventing unnecessary ED and urgent care visits, saving patients time and money, and relieving overburdened urgent care clinics and doctors’ offices.   Atrium Health sends text messages, email, and MyChart messages through Epic to let patients know when they have a balance due—not only allowing them to pay by text, but also cutting paper out of the process. Early results suggest that Atrium will save $182,000 in labor and paper costs per year.   Congrats, everyone! #healthcare #healthIT #sustainability
