Epic Showcases Industry-Leading AI, Genomics, and Interoperability at HIMSS 2025 Conference
March 4, 2025
From AI-driven tools to new applications, Epic continues to help healthcare organizations advance in a rapidly changing environment.
At the 2025 HIMSS Global Health Conference and Exhibition, Epic is highlighting innovations that improve clinical care, streamline operations, and foster more personalized patient treatments:
Generative AI Powered by a Fully Integrated Platform. Across the Epic community today, generative AI improves clinician workflows, enhances patient experiences, streamlines revenue cycle processes, and accelerates important clinical interventions. Epic continues to develop new capabilities rapidly. With the patient at the center of Epic’s fully integrated platform, AI can draw on information from across the enterprise to provide data-driven insights. AI agents, which perform tasks autonomously, can collaborate across clinical, administrative, and patient-facing workflows. For example, agents may chat with patients about care goals, analyze similar cases to identify missing tasks (such as specific labs), and schedule those tasks in advance—fostering a better visit experience for clinicians and patients.
Faster, more flexible, and richer clinician documentation. Recently, Epic published specifications for ambient voice recognition, broadening integration options for note-writing workflows. The next step is native multimodal capabilities—processing video input, synthesizing voice into documentation, recognizing images, analyzing genomic data, and more—to further transform care delivery.
Leading the Way in Interoperability. Over 2,000 Epic hospitals and over 50,000 Epic clinics are either live or preparing to go live on the federal TEFCA framework for nationwide health data exchange. For app developers, Epic offers Individual Access Services (IAS) for secure patient record retrieval—and today, there are almost 800 patient-facing apps live and exchanging data. USCDI v3 support is available for free on open.epic alongside over 750 no-cost APIs and interfaces. Since the release of Epic’s USCDI v3 APIs in 2024, they have been called over 8 billion times.
A Growing Ecosystem of Showroom Apps. Over 1,000 vendor-created apps are now live across the Epic community, including more than 200 new apps added in the past year. Epic’s Showroom currently hosts 790 apps and has welcomed 344 new listings since its launch in 2024. In that time, FHIR API usage surged from roughly 6 billion monthly calls to over 10 billion—reflecting widespread enthusiasm, rapid adoption, and meaningful benefits to patients and health systems.
Genomic Insights within Cosmos. Cosnome, which integrates genomic sequencing data into the Cosmos dataset, is now live. Soon, the community of organizations that contribute to Cosmos will gain point-of-care insights from the combination of genomic information and clinical data—fostering precision medicine and more personalized treatments. Researchers will also gain a powerful resource for studying genetic variants alongside real-world clinical outcomes.
Organ Donor Registration in MyChart. Through a joint effort with Donate Life America, patients will soon be able to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors through MyChart. They will also be able to choose whether to donate for research and education in addition to transplant purposes. One donor may save up to 8 lives and enhance many more—and with over 100,000 Americans waiting for a life-saving organ donation, the potential impact of this collaboration is significant.
New Applications for Better Operations. Epic’s upcoming Clinical Trials Management System will unify trial workflows for patients, clinicians, researchers, and administrators. An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) suite is also under way. A natively integrated Epic ERP will enhance efficiency and support better decision-making by providing insights based on financial, operational, and clinical data—all in one place.
“When people visit our booth, they can talk directly with Epic’s software developers,” said Seth Howard, Epic’s Executive Vice President of Research & Development. “We can’t wait to share what we’re working on and learn more about what health systems need us to do next.”
Visitors can find a relaxed setting reminiscent of the Epic campus—a place to unwind, catch up with peers, and connect with Epic staff. Inside the booth, Epic is showcasing the latest technologies to transform patient care, support clinicians, and drive operational excellence in the ever-evolving healthcare industry.

Automated Outreach Helps Patients Keep Millions of Appointments
With Epic’s Hello World communication platform, health systems keep patients connected to their care teams through text messages and voice calls. Its newest capability automatically shows patients that the call is coming from the health system, so they know to pick up.
At Agent Factory Build-A-Thon, Health Systems Create Their Own AI Agents
Clinical, operational, and technical staff from health systems are working together to turn their ideas into agents that can help improve patient outcomes, increase patient engagement, reduce administrative burden, and more.
The AI-supported outpatient office visit helps clinicians arrive prepared, anticipates what they need in the room, and lines up documentation and orders for clinician review before the visit ends.
