Enhancing the Abilities of Healthcare SectorEpic systems have a dominant position in the medical software industry. The company’s EHR is a perfect fit for hospitals looking to streamline the workflows around managing patients’ health data. Integrating Epic medical solutions within existing hospital information systems can be challenging, given the varying data standards and programming languages used. This is where OSP can assist hospitals and clinics with its Epic consulting services for integration. We develop tailored APIs to ensure seamless connectivity and secure electronic data exchange.
The medical data on patients needs to be stored and managed efficiently. OSP can streamline and optimize the workflows around the collection, organization, indexing, formatting, and storing of this data through our Epic healthcare consulting and integration services. We assess your existing systems and develop customized APIs to integrate Epic healthcare records software into them. Doing so will not only ease the collection and storage of patient data but will also ensure HIPAA compliance in handling it.
An electronic health records software integrated seamlessly with a hospital’s existing information systems accelerates the process of data management. In other words, the hospital will no longer need to invest time or resources manually in entering patients’ medical data in the EHR. OSP’s integration services will ensure that the data is stored appropriately in the Epic EHR platform.
Transferring data from legacy systems to modern ones is extremely important. Doing so provides better data security and integrity and paves the way for adopting emerging technologies. OSP brings more than a decade of experience in the medical software industry with an emphasis on integrated healthcare solutions. Our Epic consulting services will facilitate a highly secure migration of data that maintains its integrity and format. This will ensure the usability of the data without hindrance to clinical activities or patient care.

Medical software like telehealth solutions, pharmacy management, and appointment management systems improve the overall patient experience. OSP can integrate these solutions and more with existing Epic healthcare solutions at hospitals.

This enables the organizations to expand the portfolio of their services and serve their patients better.

Whether it is a hospital or an ambulatory care center, an organization’s requirements and services might be scaled up or down depending on the circumstances. When it comes to scaling up, integrating electronic health records with existing systems gives organizations the technical edge needed to expand their services. This will incur the need to incorporate newer applications, which our Epic consulting experts can accomplish.
