Evaluate the "EpicCare Link" Alternative-
If your primary goal is just to see your patients' hospital records and not necessarily use Epic as your daily charting EMR, you should look into EpicCare Link.
• Cost: Usually Free.
• Functionality: It is a web-based portal that allows you to view your patients' hospital results, notes, and discharge summaries in real-time without the heavy cost of a full EMR implementation.
• Best for DPCs: Many DPCs use a "DPC-specific" EMR (like Hint, Elation, or Atlas) for their daily work and use EpicCare Link as a window into the local hospital system.
