About
As part of the implementation process, TeleTracking can define and design the optimal processes and potential integration points with your Epic system. These integration points are designed to reduce or eliminate dual entry, streamline your operations, eliminate multiple phone calls and improve patient flow throughout your facility by providing real-time information to those who need it most.
Here is a sampling of some of the most common integration points that deliver positive outcomes. Additional integrations are available.
Integration Points
Integration Point | Epic Module | Direction | Description |
Patient Registration / Demographics | ADT/Prelude | E → T | Maintain patient demographics and encounter information in real-time for inpatient, outpatient, and pre-admissions |
