Philips announces collaboration with Epic to enhance ambulatory cardiac monitoring

With Philips’ technology available through Aura, health system IT teams could significantly reduce the time it takes to connect with Philips [1] and give interested provider organizations the ability to order and review patients’ ECG results directly in Epic. This cuts out the need for manual order and data entry, which enhances workflows for providers and streamlines data-driven care decisions.

“With this collaboration, we are advancing cardiac care in a way that simultaneously improves the clinician and patient experience,” said Stefano Folli, Business Leader, Ambulatory Monitoring & Diagnostics, Philips. “Together, Philips and Epic can help enable workflow efficiencies that lighten cardiac care teams’ load, so they can spend more time focusing on what matters most – providing direct patient care.”

“When a physician prescribes a cardiac monitor, it allows patients to be evaluated for heart conditions as they go about their daily lives, even before they see a cardiologist,” said Leah Johnson, vice president of cardiology and imaging diagnostics, Epic. “Through this collaboration, we’re streamlining the clinical experience for both patients and physicians, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring that detailed diagnostic reports are readily available in the patient’s comprehensive health record.”
