Epic Systems, a prominent global company specializing in digital health technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Penn Medicine, a major healthcare system based in Philadelphia. The collaboration aims to create a technology-enhanced outpatient clinic that focuses on improving the overall experience for both patients and healthcare providers. By integrating advanced digital tools and innovative solutions throughout the clinic, the initiative seeks to make healthcare delivery more efficient, personalized, and seamless for everyone involved.
The initiative is focused on creating a “smarter, integrated clinic” by incorporating digital tools throughout key points of care within outpatient settings. By doing so, the project is designed to streamline administrative processes, enhance the personalization of patient care, and promote closer collaboration and communication between physicians and patients, ultimately improving the overall healthcare experience.
Epic has stated that the collaboration is aimed at strengthening the integration of advanced technology within outpatient facilities, while also enhancing the digital systems that underpin daily clinical operations. The goal is to create a more efficient, connected, and responsive environment for both healthcare providers and patients.
Under this partnership, both Epic and Penn Medicine are focused on optimizing the patient check-in process to make it quicker and more efficient. In addition, they plan to use data-driven insights to provide more personalized care for each patient, while also enhancing communication and collaboration among healthcare teams. These efforts are intended to create a smoother, more coordinated, and overall more effective experience for patients and clinicians in the outpatient setting.
In a recent update, Epic announced a new partnership with Humana aimed at expanding their data-sharing collaboration. The initiative introduces features such as automated insurance verification and digital check-in, designed to streamline administrative processes and improve the overall patient experience.
The initiative is intended to meet federal interoperability standards, ensuring that both organizations are compliant ahead of the first-quarter 2026 deadline set by the Trump administration. It reflects a broader effort to modernize healthcare data systems and improve seamless information exchange across providers and payers.
