JP Heres (Vice President of Garden Plot at Epic) stated, “We’re excited that we can give more clinicians access to Epic software.” “Garden Plot allows small, independent groups to access Epicthe software and third party they need plus the strength of our interoperability networkswith minimal overhead. We handle the hosting, support, configuration, and rollout of updates, so providers can concentrate on their patients.
The Community Connect program has been used by health systems to extend Epic instances to nearby medical organizations. They have access to Epic software without having to hire support staff or buy infrastructure. Epic Connect is recommended to medical groups by Epic because it creates shared patient records and allows for nearly 40,000 providers to use the software. Garden Plot is a way for groups to connect with Epic directly when Connect isn’t an option.
“Garden Plot can be used by primary and specialty care groups with more that 40 providers,” said Heres. “Our customers will launch their first wave of implementations in the coming weeks.” May 2022.”
