Although today’s Meta Connect developer conference was largely about new smart glasses, the social networking company did announce a handful of metaverse updates during Wednesday’s keynote. Of these, one of the largest was the introduction of Hyperscape, first demoed at last year’s event, which allows developers and creators to build more photorealistic spaces in virtual reality. Additionally, Meta is partnering with Universal and Blumhouse to bring you horror movies like M3GAN and The Black Phone with “immersive special effects.” Wisdom is the Epic solution for dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants. It has tools for periodontal charting, tooth health charting, scheduling, treatment plans, and risk assessments.

  • Epic Hyperspace is configured to display different menus, tasks, and options to users depending on their specific roles.
  • Beyond Hyperspace, Meta is introducing two platforms to help developers and creators build games and worlds.
  • They were founded in 1979 by Judy Faulkner, who continues to lead the company.
  • It is designed to help medical specialties to form a more complete picture of patients’ health.
  • It provides online tools for tracking your progress toward discharge, and can be configured to provide patient education material.

Epic Open Scheduling

Clinicians can build a family tree, manage family history, and get information on genetically related conditions. This includes the data warehouse, the dashboards used in many areas of Epic, Reporting Workbench, the Clarity data structure, and teh Chronicles data structure. Science fiction was also the theme of Epic’s recent Users Group Meeting, in which the company unveiled some futuristic AI capabilities, such as predicting health events over a patient’s lifetime.

  • Cosmos is the artificial intelligence tool that works to collect billions of clinical data points from Epic organizations to help providers answer clinical questions.
  • It provides tools to monitor patients at risk for infection, identifies patients needing isolation, and with antimicrobial processes.
  • It allows Ophthalmologists and Optometrists to perform eye exams, document eye related procedures, and write contact lens and eyeglass prescriptions.
  • Garden Plot, however is leased to the client by Epic themselves, and the organization must be larger than 40 providers.

Happy Together is Epic’s effort toward communicating clinical information across different systems, including data from competing vendors. Happy Together enables patients to see their clinical data from multiple locations in one MyChart session. While a MyChart user needs to have registered before scheduling through that portal, Epic’s Open Scheduling feature allows organizations to publish a web URL that allows anyone to enter a request to be seen.

This is called a Continuity of Care Document (CCD), and is considered a form of a personal health record. Since it is a core component of the Epic software system, upgrades almost always include an update of Hyperspace. Epic Hyperspace is configured to display different menus, tasks, and options to users depending on their specific roles. Also known as Dorothy (from The Wizard of Oz) this is the module used in a home health setting, in which visiting caregivers (Nurse, Nurse Aides, PT, OT, etc) document care done in a patient’s home.

Hyperspace basics are common tools and features a user can access within Hyperspace. This is Epic’s application-side reporting solution which allows IT analysts to create and manage reports on date from most parts of the system. Users work from templates to get data on patient lists, orders, appointments, diagnoses, and much more. In Reporting Workbench, users do not run SQL queries to the database, as the tool is visually oriented. Introduced in 2023, Hyperdrive is Epic’s next generation version of the front-end application accessed by most end-users of Epic. It is web-based code base that is intended to assist Epic developers in current and future development of features and functions, and it has some cosmetic improvements over Hyperspace.

It has a component that tracks which rooms are occupied, displaying room and bed status on monitors that are mounted on the walls near the nursing stations. “Our vision for the future is a world where anyone anywhere can imagine a character, a scene, or an entire world and create it from scratch,” a press release reads.

Open Epic also allows for application development using the FHIR standard. The developer, Epic, indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below.

Epic Tapestry

Years ago, clinicians using Epic had to log in and out of each application individually, which is how most apps by most vendors worked at the time, Ms. Faulkner wrote in a Sept. 8 blog post. This was burdensome, so Epic decided to create a single interface for users based on their roles and permissions, in 2001. Willow is the module which is used for the management of medications from a central pharmacy.

Epic Radiant

It has components for Inpatient Surgery as well as Outpatient Day Surgery. Open Epic is a public forum that shares code to facilitate development of applications which integrate with Epic. It allows the use of application programming interfaces (APIs) to assist in integration efforts.

Slicer Dicer is a visual reporting tool within Epic that allows non-technical users to easily create clinical reports by moving around reporting components in an editor. It works a bit like Crystal Reports or similar tools but has an easier user interface. Epic can also integrate or interface with external EKG devices to bring the EKG readings into the medical record. Care Everywhere is the network by which patient records are shared between different Healthcare organizations that use Epic. It provides health coaching, education, and reminders to patients via MyChart to help them manage complex health conditions. For example, a patient with diabetes would get reminders to take medications on time, get lab work done, schedule periodic eye and foot exams, and monitor their diet and glucose.

Epic Hyperspace is a software platform that healthcare organizations use to manage and interact with their Epic electronic health record (EHR) system. Epic Hyperspace offers clinicians a familiar interface for easily accessing clinical workflows and tasks, managing patient data, clinical documentation, and care coordination. Instead of being installed on individual computers, it runs on hosted servers that are connected to various workstations throughout the organization. This centralized approach ensures that updates to the Epic system, including Hyperspace, are efficiently rolled out and maintained, making it a crucial component of the overall Epic ecosystem. One of the main reasons for the concept’s popularity in science fiction is the impossibility of faster-than-light travel in ordinary physical space, which hyperspace allows writers to bypass.

It has financial counseling workflow tools to help capture financial counseling information and track discounts given to patients. Epic provides Healthcare clients with tools to run queries, maintain the database, and run reports. Chronicles is a non-relational database that sends data to Clarity, which is a relational database, and is used for advanced reporting. Cadence is the Epic scheduling module for Outpatient and Specialty clinics. Any time you have an appointment with your doctor, their scheduling staff will use Cadence to book your appointment, then check you in on arrival. The physicians and other staff are able to see the schedule for the whole clinic, or just for their own patients.

Smart glasses hyperspace coin may be all the rage at Meta Connect 2025, but some interesting things are happening in the Metaverse. The company announced a new tool called Hyperspace that can bring real spaces into the metaverse. Epic Haiku is an App for Android and Apple that allows doctors to access a limited version of EpicCare Ambulatory.
