Epic announced this week that it will collaborate with Lyniate to enable the data integration requirements of its new Garden Plot offering.
WHY IT MATTERS
Garden Plot is Epic’s new hosted and supported software as a service model for independent medical groups and physicians.
Lyniate’s interoperability technologies include the Corepoint and Rhapsody integration engines, the Rapid API Gateway and Rhapsody Integration as a Service.
Epic, which notes that more of its customers have gone live with Lyniate than any other integration engine in the past two years, and that more than 30% of its clients use a Lyniate product, says it chose the company for its expertise, proven technology and flexible deployment.
THE LARGER TREND
Epic launched Garden Plot this past month, in advance of HIMSS22. The premise is simple: It takes on the hosting, support, and ongoing configuration and rollout of updates.
That offers another avenue for practices to work with Epic directly when its Community Connect program – wherein systems extend their Epic instances to nearby medical groups – isn’t an option.
In addition to Lyniate technologies, Garden Plot includes integrated products from Availity, Biscom, Change Healthcare, Healthwise, Intelligent Medical Objects, Iron Bridge, OSG Billing Services, Solarity, Sphere, Surescripts and Wolters Kluwer.
At HIMSS22, Lyniate announced its merger with NextGate.
Earlier this year, we spoke with Drew Ivan, chief strategy officer at Lyniate, about TEFCA and other interoperability trends.
ON THE RECORD
“We are excited to give more clinicians the opportunity to use Epic software,” said JP Heres, VP of Garden Plot at Epic, in a statement. “Garden Plot gives small, independent groups access to Epic – the software and third parties they need, plus the strength of our interoperability network – with minimal overhead. We take care of the heavy lifting so providers can concentrate on what they do best: caring for patients.”
“Lyniate has a long and rich history of supporting private physician practices and ambulatory clinics and we are proud to build on this history by enabling practices that choose Epic Garden Plot to connect with larger health systems with whom they share patients,” added Mike Barbour, Lyniate’s SVP of Sales. “We look forward to working together to arm clinicians and patients with the data that they need.”
