Verona, Wis.-based Epic is inviting healthcare provider organizations that don’t use Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) to its “un-Users Group Meeting” at its Verona headquarters to learn how to exchange data with Epic.

The event, planned for September 26, will provide information to healthcare provider organizations about how to exchange charts with providers in their community who use Epic, even if providers use a different EHR— or no EHR at all.

According to Epic’s unUGM website, the event is for “executives and strategic leaders of provider organizations who want to learn and discuss how to exchange with providers in their community who use Epic.”

“Access to a patient’s information, regardless of where he or she has been seen, helps providers deliver the best patient care. The first Un-Users Group Meeting (unUGM) is another way we’re reaching out to the leaders of health systems using other EHRs—or even no EHRs—to help them get connected to the Epic users in their communities,” Dave Fuhrmann, Epic’s vice president of interoperability, said in a prepared statement.

According to the event agenda, topics of discussion include options for exchanging patient data with providers through Carequality, Care Everywhere, health information exchange (HIE) and Direct messaging, as well as patient-directed options, including MyChart, Share Everywhere, Lucy, and Blue Button.

There will also be discussion about interoperability success stories, using both non-Epic and Epic EHRs, and the current state of coordinated care in the U.S. and the use of existing tools to close care gaps, improve communication, and reduce costs.
