EHR giant Epic and Health Care Services Corporation (HCSC) — an independent licensee of five Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans — introduced a "two-way" information exchange platform between the entities. The system will enable efficient exchange of data and insights between BCBS payers, patients, and in-network providers — and aims to provide a more holistic view of patient data. Interoperability challenges have plagued health systems for years — and we think the HCSC-Epic platform could begin to resolve some of these issues: Admin tasks are a key driver of physician burnout — and the new platform can relieve physicians of some admin-related stress by streamlining review of EHR patient data and mitigating time spent in EHRs.
