Philips collaborates with Epic for ambulatory cardiac monitoring

Royal Philips (PHG) announced a collaboration with Epic to integrate Philips’ suite of cardiac ambulatory monitoring and diagnostics services with Aura. This collaboration will offer the broadest cardiac care portfolio of any single service provider integrating with Aura to date. 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. This cuts out the need for manual order and data entry, which enhances workflows for providers and streamlines data-driven care decisions.
