Philips Collaborates with Epic to Strengthen Cardiac Monitoring

Under this collaboration, Philips will deliver a new level of interoperability between its ambulatory monitoring technologies and Epic-helping providers enhance the diagnostic process and improve patient outcomes.

Royal Philips, a global leader in health technology, has partnered with Epic to integrate its cardiac diagnostics services into Aura, Epic’s leading diagnostics suite within its electronic health record (EHR) platform.

This partnership brings the widest range of cardiac care tools to Aura, making it easier to connect Philips’ monitoring tech with Epic and helping doctors improve diagnosis and patient care.

Under this collaboration, Philips will deliver a new level of interoperability between its ambulatory monitoring technologies and Epic-helping providers enhance the diagnostic process and improve patient outcomes.

With Philips’ technology available through Aura, health system IT teams could significantly reduce the time it takes to connect with Philips and give interested provider organizations the ability to order and review patients’ ECG results directly in Epic.

Stefano Folli, Business Leader, Ambulatory Monitoring & Diagnostics, Philips said, “With this collaboration, we are advancing cardiac care in a way that simultaneously improves the clinician and patient experience. 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.”

The Philips-Epic collaboration can also streamline cumbersome administrative tasks by automating patient activation, staff notifications, and charting, providing valuable time back to cardiology teams to spend with patients.

Leah Johnson, vice president of cardiology and imaging diagnostics, Epic said, “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. 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.”

Philips’ ambulatory monitoring offers remote and ECG solutions that deliver data-driven insights to improve cardiac care, streamline workflows, and support timely, proactive treatment.
