EpicAutomation & Integration
Build Epic SMART on FHIR workflows around customer-approved APIs and scopes.
Epic exposes patient, appointment, condition, observation, and medication APIs through specification-specific SMART on FHIR access. Supported reads and writes vary by API and customer environment.

How I use Epic
Epic supports user-facing SMART on FHIR apps and backend integrations, but there is no single universal access profile. Each specification defines its interactions, scopes, and supported user types. Production work requires an Epic customer, separate production credentials, testing in that customer's non-production environment, and configuration by the customer's IT team. The implementation starts with the target workflow and the exact APIs the health system will approve.

What the integration supports
Facts checked
Authentication and access
Epic uses SMART on FHIR OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow for user-facing apps. Backend apps can use client credentials, with private-key JWT preferred for client authentication.
Useful data and actions
- Patient demographics and matching
- Appointments, providers, locations, and status
- Conditions, problems, and diagnoses
- Laboratory observations and diagnostic results
- Medication orders and patient-reported medications
Constraints to confirm
- Epic issues separate production and non-production Client IDs; sandbox testing uses the non-production ID.
- Production implementation requires collaboration with an Epic customer and testing in that customer's non-production environment.
- Supported reads, writes, scopes, and user types vary by individual API specification; patient-facing behavior can differ.
- EHR or MyChart launch placement and other environment configuration require the customer's Epic IT team.
What I automate with Epic
Appointment data for customer-approved notification workflows
Patient and condition data for authorized reporting
Laboratory observations routed to review or analytics tools
Medication data surfaced in scoped clinician workflows
Epic-launched applications configured for the approved EHR or MyChart context
