Epic Monitor

Epic Monitor is designed to support the Epic System capabilities for continuous patient monitoring and care coordination through a centralized, real-time dashboard. As a component of Epic’s virtual care platform, Epic Monitor enables healthcare teams to track patients across various settings, leveraging data transmission in real-time for clinicians to improve responsiveness and outcomes. The tool is integral to virtual nursing workflows, allowing nurses to monitor vital signs, manage alerts, and assess trends without needing to be physically present at the patient’s bedside.

A core feature of Epic Monitor is its ability to function as part of a broader remote patient monitoring system. It supports multiple device integration, pulling data from wearables, in-room monitors, and remote patient applications. This seamless integration enables providers to consolidate patient information within the EHR software environment, ensuring continuity of care and reducing documentation burdens. By combining real-time physiological data with clinical notes and patient histories, Epic Monitor helps clinicians make faster, more informed decisions.

The system also supports mobile application functionality, allowing clinicians to access monitoring tools and patient data on-the-go. This is particularly valuable in high-acuity or transitional care environments where mobility is essential. Furthermore, Epic Monitor works with the Epic embedded care management portal, which allows care coordinators to track patient progress, manage follow-up tasks, and facilitate communication across teams. These features support broader goals of capacity management, enabling hospitals to optimize staffing and bed availability based on real-time data.

Epic Monitor also interfaces with patient portals, allowing patients and caregivers to receive updates and engage in their care plans remotely. This transparency supports population health initiatives by encouraging proactive health management and reducing hospital re-admissions. By integrating with a healthcare system’s virtual care platform and EHR software, Epic Monitor enhances both individual care and system-wide efficiency, delivering robust support for remote and continuous patient monitoring across multiple clinical settings.
