Can Candelis Connect to Epic Health Systems?

Candelis solutions are designed to seamlessly connect with Epic Health Systems. This is achieved through familiar, industry-standard protocols that integrate with your Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR).

Every moment matters in a modern, fast-paced healthcare environment. Having a synchronized ecosystem for patient data and diagnostic imaging is essential. A Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) that doesn't communicate with your EHR creates data gaps and challenges for staff that can impact patient care. Candelis can connect to your Epic Health Systems to achieve a range of benefits for staff and patients.

What Are the Potential Challenges in Keeping Radiology and Patient Records?

IT staff and PACS administrators face a range of daily challenges. Disconnected workflows between imaging systems and the central Electronic Health Record (EHR) system can lead to:

  • The need to manually enter data, which increases the potential for human error.

  • Mismatched patient records, causing Medical Records Number (MRN) inconsistencies.

  • Delayed clinician access to critical imaging studies at the interface.

  • Fragmented diagnostic views that force clinicians to switch between applications.

Candelis and Epic solutions address these issues, creating a more integrated system for staff and patients.

How Do Candelis and Epic Work Together?

As the global standard for exchanging data between clinical and administrative systems, Health Level Seven (HL7) is crucial. Our advanced ImageGrid platform acts as a robust data management engine that uses HL7 messages to communicate with Epic.

Candelis integrates with Epic to help healthcare facilities achieve:

  • Perfect synchronization of patient data and imaging information.

  • Automated updates between systems to keep patient demographics current.

  • Reconciliation of patients and any associated study data.

  • Rule-based routing of images within the Epic EHR.

Healthcare facilities can benefit from a streamlined, secure system without major changes to existing ones.

A More Efficient and Accurate Workflow

The integration of Candelis and Epic offers simple solutions for the daily complexities that IT and PACS administrators face. It also provides instant access to the correct imaging studies for radiologists and physicians. Improved diagnostic efficiency and accuracy are natural outcomes of these integrations.

Healthcare organizations benefit from enhanced compliance, data integrity and a more efficient flow of patient information.

Fewer Operational Overheads

For many facilities, improved efficiency can come at an additional cost, but Candelis solutions provide a powerful financial advantage. By reducing manual data entry and eliminating hours spent troubleshooting errors, operational overheads significantly decrease.

This helps you make the most of your staff resources so you can spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on high-value initiatives that improve patient care.

Take the Next Step Toward a Fully Integrated Ecosystem

System fragmentation directly impacts your team's efficiency. Connecting Candelis with your Epic EHR creates a single-source solution for your clinical and administrative staff. With improved accuracy and real-time data access, healthcare facilities can enhance their capabilities and improve patient care.
