Reasons to Integrate Your Software with Epic
Integrating with Epic is the first step in patient-centric care if you plan to develop software that quickly processes EHR and EMR data. Epic integration provides numerous benefits that significantly simplify routine processes in healthcare which allows your software to win over more new users. Epic’s benefits include the ability to:
Establish Smooth Data Interexchange
Each month, over 100 million healthcare records are shared by care providers using the Epic EHR/EMR system. Epic integration ensures smooth data interexchange which results in increased data accuracy and minimized risk of medical errors and billing mistakes.
Maximize Data Security
In software that is integrated with the Epic system, all the data transfers comply with the SSL protocol, which ensures the privacy and protection of business-related and confidential patient information.
Streamline Billing Processes
Software integrated with Epic saves users’ time by easily retrieving the patient’s personal, medical, or insurance information from the EHR/EMR and being able to autofill it into the needed fields, completely automating the billing processes.
Promoting Patient-Centric Care
With Epic integration, your software will be able to access all previously conducted medical examinations such as lab tests, X-rays, or ultrasounds, so patients won’t need to perform these examinations again or request the results from third parties.

Accessing Patient Data through Smart Glasses
We worked with an innovative startup in the healthcare industry. The client wanted to simplify access to medical information for nurses and minimize the risk of germ transmission as well. So, they decided to develop software for EHR/EMR display through smart glasses. They contacted us to develop all the functionality from scratch, integrate the tool with the Epic system and ensure full compliance with HIPAA requirements.
We developed software that can pull the patient-related information such as the patient’s name, photo, bed number, lab results, medical history, prescribed medication, etc. after the nurse scans the QR code on the patient’s wristband. The MVP (minimum viable product) developed by Langate received positive feedback from hospitals and nurses, and we are planning to continue our collaboration with the client to develop the product’s functionality even further.
