A FHIR R4 integration for Epic health systems
CCN Health + Epic: how the FHIR R4 integration works.
Two capabilities, each with a guided walkthrough: import the eligible panel from the Epic chart, and post every reading back to it in real time. No double charting, no exports.
Start the step-by-step walkthroughThe connection
Standards-based, both directions.
CCN Health talks to Epic over HL7 FHIR R4, the same standards-based interoperability framework Epic itself is built on. Clinical context flows in, monitoring data flows back.
01Connect
CCN Health connects to your Epic instance over the FHIR R4 API. No custom interfaces, no proprietary formats.
02Sync
Demographics, diagnoses, and medication lists sync automatically. Eligible patients are flagged for enrollment.
03Monitor & bill
Readings post to the chart as they arrive, notes write back, and monthly reports compile with CPT 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458.

Integration partner- Built on HL7 FHIR R4, the same framework Epic is built on
- Bi-directional: clinical context in, monitoring data back
- Real-time vital posting into the patient chart
- HIPAA compliant, with a BAA included
Patient import & eligibility flagging
CCN Health reads demographics, diagnoses, and medication lists from the Epic chart over FHIR R4, flags the patients who qualify for monitoring, and enrolls them with nothing re-keyed.
- Demographics, diagnoses, and medication lists pulled over the FHIR R4 connection
- Eligible patients flagged for enrollment automatically
- Enrollment without re-keying: the details come straight from the chart
- Every enrolled patient stays linked to their Epic chart
The benefit to your practice
Nobody builds a monitoring panel by hand. The chart already knows who qualifies; CCN Health surfaces them, and a panel stands up in minutes instead of weeks.

Charting vitals to the Epic chart
Readings from cellular devices travel to CCN Health, get checked against each patient's thresholds, and post to the Epic chart as FHIR Observation resources in real time.
- Vitals post in real time: blood pressure, weight, glucose, SpO₂
- Cellular devices at home: no wifi, no phone, no Bluetooth pairing
- Checked against thresholds on arrival; breaches trigger clinical alerts
- Trends visible on both sides, with no double charting
The benefit to your practice
Nobody transcribes readings. Every reading charts itself as it arrives, and an out-of-range value becomes an alert instead of a missed signal.
