Acute and Inpatient Care

Infection preventionists and other clinical users use Epic's infectious disease application, Bugsy, to help them more easily maintain infection surveillance, analyze infection trends, and report to regulatory entities when patients acquire infections during their admission.

Support your intensivists and nursing staff for your sickest patients by keeping them up to speed on every patient, helping them detect potential problems and intervene early.

Automate pharmacy communication and inventory management tasks and coordinate ordering, verification, preparation, dispensing, and administration in one system. Embedded decision support delivers proactive guidance and financial support suggestions.

Connect the care team to a single patient record, clinical pathway, and care plan – with outside data in the same single view – ensuring that decisions are based on up-to-date information and that care transitions are well coordinated. Inform staff of potential patient deterioration in real time and use analytics to help nursing teams balance workload acuity.

Equip hospital case managers with tools to track their tasks, complete utilization review, and communicate with payers. Coordinate placement requests with post-acute and community-based facilities.

Give patients a mobile app for their hospital stay that engages them in their care, empowers them with education and clinical data, and helps them build a personal connection with the care team.

Nurses see the full picture of their patients and their care plan. Document assessments and facilitate patient safety using tools like barcoded medication administration.
