This integration allows healthcare providers to seamlessly connect Glooko’s solutions with Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) system. By enabling clinicians to access real-time patient data directly within Epic, the integration eliminates the need for extra logins or manual data transfers, thereby improving workflow efficiency and enhancing patient care.
Glooko, Inc., a leader in digital health technology, has introduced its advanced diabetes data management platform, which is now seamlessly integrated with Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) system. This integration allows clinicians to access real-time diabetes data, including glucose levels and other health metrics, directly within the Epic environment. The goal of this integration is to improve patient safety, enhance clinical decision-making, and streamline workflows, ultimately benefiting both healthcare providers and their patients.
The Glooko platform is designed to empower clinicians with the ability to make better treatment decisions by providing immediate access to comprehensive data collected from diabetes management devices and sensors. This integration not only simplifies the process of gathering patient information but also eliminates the need for additional logins, manual data transfers, or fragmented data sources. This leads to more efficient management of diabetes care, with clinicians receiving up-to-date information in a timely manner, all within their existing workflows.
The integration utilizes Epic’s SMART on FHIR (Substitutable Medical Applications and Reusable Technologies on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) technology. This ensures that the exchange of data between Glooko and Epic is secure, compliant, and fully integrated into clinical workflows. By leveraging this innovative technology, Glooko ensures seamless interoperability and allows for immediate access to actionable insights, without the delays or errors that often occur when dealing with multiple systems or data entry processes.
According to Dr. Mark Clements, Chief Medical Officer of Glooko, “Clinicians need timely, actionable data within their existing workflows, and our integration with Epic makes that possible. With instant access to comprehensive diabetes data, providers can make faster, more informed treatment decisions, enhancing patient safety, reducing inefficient complications, and driving better long-term outcomes. This also enhances clinical workflows and strengthens the therapeutic alliance between patients and providers, fostering a more personalized and proactive approach to diabetes management.”
The integration between Glooko and Epic provides healthcare providers with faster access to patients’ diabetes data through a single click. This results in reduced administrative burden and more informed clinical decision-making, as clinicians can instantly view important health data directly from the patient’s device, including glucose levels, activity data, and medication adherence. The technology’s ability to integrate these data points into one seamless platform allows for a more comprehensive approach to managing diabetes care.
This integration is designed with simplicity in mind. It requires no additional software installation or complex user management, making it an ideal solution for healthcare facilities looking to optimize their Epic environment. The streamlined setup process ensures that hospitals and clinics can quickly benefit from the integration, reducing barriers to adoption and minimizing disruption to existing workflows.
Mike Alvarez, CEO of Glooko, added, “This is an exciting milestone for Glooko as we continue to expand the availability of our platform within healthcare systems across the U.S. By joining the Epic Showroom, we’re making it easier than ever for health systems and clinicians to adopt our technology, with the goal of improving outcomes for people with diabetes and lessening clinician data burden.”
