What is Epic Bridges?

Epic Bridges is a module within the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system that facilitates secure and efficient communication and coordination of patient care between healthcare organizations. It enables the electronic exchange of patient information, such as clinical summaries, referrals, and lab results, with other healthcare providers and systems, even if they are not using Epic. This interoperability streamlines workflows, improves patient safety by ensuring providers have access to complete medical histories, and reduces administrative burdens associated with traditional methods of communication.
