Space travelers, robots and of course artificial intelligence.
They were all exhibited on Tuesday at the annual user group meeting of the Epic Systems, which took place on the 1,670 hectare campus of the health software giant in Verona, Wisconsin.
Judy Faulkner, 82 -year -old CEO of Epic, who was dressed in a purple wig with neon -green shoes and a dazzling vest for this occasion and reminds the fictional character Buzz Lightyear from the “Toy Story” franchise.
At the event on the subject of science fiction, Faulkner informed the crowd that EPIC had about 200 different AI characteristics in development that aim to help patients, clinics and insurers.
“We combine human intelligence and curiosity with the investigative skills of Gen AI,” said Faulkner before thousands of health care managers who were packed in an underground auditorium with 11,400 seats.
Epic, one of the largest private technology companies in the country, is best known for its electronic health record (Ehr, software). An honor is a digital version of the medical history of a patient that is updated by doctors and nurses, and the technology is an essential part of the modern US health system.
The software from Epic, with oracle According to the company, Health (formerly Cerner) is used by 280 million Americans. Many patients know Epic because of their user portal called MyChart.
Last week, Epic Mychart Central announced that it enables patients to register with mychart with just a number of registration information instead of needing a user name and a password for each health system. It is equally helpful for health organizations, said Faulkner.
“You will spend less time to edit patient calls and reset passwords,” she said on Tuesday in her keynote. “Demographic changes such as the address only have to be added once.”
A newcomer to the MyChart portal is the ever-on-em-em-assistant, from which the company, according to the company, answer questions about laboratory results, suggest the times and suggest relevant screening that patients can discuss with their doctor.
During the three-hour presentation of Epic, Faulkner and other managers Emmie and other AI assistants, who describe the company as art and penny and highlights new skills that come next year and beyond.

The artistry should be intended for clinicians and act as an active AI colleague for AI, said the company. Art will be able to anticipate information that a doctor may need, for example, and record information such as blood pressure trends, update the family history of a patient and store orders.
The company also said art would be able to create clinical notes, which was one of the most expected announcements before the conference. AI-powered clinical documentation instruments, which are often referred to as AI font scholars, can make up to patient visits in real time when the doctors record their encounters with the approval of a patient.
AI fonts are increasingly popular than looking for solutions as managers in healthcare to reduce employees of employees and discouraging administrative workload. Some start -ups in the room, including depressing and ambience Healthcare, have collected hundreds of dollars from investors.
Epic said Microsoft. Epic and Microsoft have been working closely together for about two decades, and the DAX Copilot product from Microsoft is already a popular offer on the AI writing market.
“We are proud to work with Epic to examine how we can bring our Kern -Ki technology from Dragon Ambient to Epic’s new KI charting capacity to further improve the care,” said Joe Petro, Vice President of Microsoft Health & Life Sciences, in a statement.
Penny Assistant from Epic should help with sales cycle management and other administrative needs, e.g. B. Complaint letters for insurance claims that are rejected. It can also help accelerate the medical coding by receiving suggestions, said Faulkner. These two functions are already live.
“With all the challenges that health organizations face, we have to make sure that our clinicians and our organizations are strong and do well to take care of the patients,” said Faulkner.
Epic excluded his executive address by teasing new AI functions that come in Cosmos, which is an unidentified patient data record to carry out research. Health systems have to opt for participation in Cosmos, and the database currently contains information from more than 1,760 hospitals and 300 million patients.
Epic said it was building a number of proprietary foundation models called Cosmos Ai, based on this data. The company still evaluates various applications of the models and started the Cosmos Ai Lab to help researchers and data scientists learn more.
Managers said the models could be used to predict a timeline of the potential medical events of a patient, e.g.
“We find that it improves further because it sees more patients,” said Seth Hain, Senior Vice President for Research and Development at Epic. “After using only 8 billion encounters so far, we’re just starting.”
