Epic Showcases Industry-Leading AI, Genomics, and Interoperability at HIMSS 2025 Conference

Published

on

From AI-driven tools to new applications, Epic continues to help healthcare organizations advance in a rapidly changing environment.

VERONA, Wis., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 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.

Epic is a global healthcare software company that helps people get well, helps people stay well, and helps future generations be healthier. Founded in a basement in 1979 with three half-time employees, Epic is now the leading EHR software developer in the United States. Epic supports healthcare organizations in 16 countries, with more than 3,100 hospitals using Epic and over 191 million patients using Epic’s MyChart patient portal to manage their care online.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
