MedBridge Streamlines Care Delivery with Direct Epic and MyChart Integration
BELLEVUE, WA, August 13, 2024 — For outpatient rehab organizations, efficient care delivery is an essential part of providing high-quality care and an optimal patient experience. That’s why MedBridge has released its complete Epic Direct Integration package, which also enables direct integration with MyChart, the patient portal attached to Epic. This comprehensive integration incorporates single sign-on to make care delivery simple and more streamlined, leading to improved clinician workflows and a better patient experience.
With Epic Direct Integration, clinicians can quickly create and assign customized home exercise programs via MedBridge Home Exercise Program or clinically validated standardized programs via MedBridge Pathways, and easily document patient information in the EMR without interrupting their workflow. Organizations can collect and record accurate patient information to create more holistic patient profiles, improving care coordination. And patients can access their MedBridge care plans from their MyChart portal without needing to toggle between different apps or navigate multiple logins, helping to improve adherence and support organizational MyChart utilization initiatives.
“The launch of our complete Epic Direct Integration demonstrates our commitment to continually expanding our offerings to support the needs of our customers,” said James Richey, MedBridge Senior Product Manager. “The ease of access it delivers to patients and clinicians along with the convenience of having everything in one place supports better patient engagement and compliance, as well as enhanced clinician utilization. This initiative is part of our ongoing effort to help outpatient rehab organizations achieve better operational efficiency, higher clinician and patient satisfaction, and improved outcomes.”
