Epic Toolbox

Epic Toolbox is an Epic Systems Corporation program that allows external software vendors to certify that their solutions are compatible with Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) platform. A Toolbox designation indicates that the solution follows Epic’s preferred integration methods, satisfies the required technical standards, and is positioned to deliver measurable benefits that extend Epic functionality. All Epic vendor and integration listings can be found in Epic Showroom, a digital marketplace that replaced Epic’s App Market. This online resource allows health systems and providers to find and learn about services, third-party applications, and data products that integrate with Epic.

Epic Toolbox primarily serves healthcare providers, IT leaders, and clinical administrators who are responsible for evaluating and implementing solutions within their Epic EHR and Epic EMR environments. As a core EHR system feature, Epic centralizes patient records, scheduling, billing, and clinical documentation to support continuity of care. Since Epic is a foundational system that manages patient records, scheduling, billing, and clinical documentation, its purpose remains to centralize patient information and support continuity of care. Epic Toolbox extends this functionality by offering vetted Epic integrations to browse, including those supporting remote patient monitoring engines. This allows organizations to conduct a thorough Epic product exploration, then adopt solutions that support compatibility and compliance.

A key strength of Epic Toolbox is its ability to unite a wide range of vendors and third-party developers. Many companies develop Epic integrations that enhance workflows, improve data flow, and support advanced care initiatives, such as population health or patient engagement. Vendors use this platform to indicate that their solutions are compatible with Epic’s infrastructure, expanding capabilities without disrupting core operations. This approach encourages innovation and collaboration throughout the healthcare technology landscape.

Imprivata integrates deeply with Epic to support secure, efficient workflows across a wide range of clinical and administrative tasks. Through solutions such as Rover, Community Connect, Trauma Specialty Narrator, Haiku, and Canto, Imprivata streamlines access and bolsters security and compliance for specialty workflows. For example, the Imprivata integration with Epic EPCS ensures that controlled substance prescribing meets strict regulatory requirements, while Imprivata Enterprise Access Management streamlines authentication across Epic applications. Together, Imprivata and Epic help providers maximize the value of EHR system features with secure, seamless, and reliable access to the tools clinicians need, when they need them.
