The Benefits of Community Connect with CSI

At CSI, we don’t just implement, we empower. Our Community Connect program provides a complete, cost-effective way to expand Epic access across health systems of all sizes. From small community clinics to large hospitals, we support every aspect of Community Connect with minimal disruption and maximum clinical impact so you can focus on strategic growth. 

Provides a unified platform for securely managing shared patient records within a community. 

Eliminates the need to independently implement a full-scale Epic instance, while still improving care coordination, reducing redundant procedures, and enhancing opportunities to measure quality. 

Operates within a national health information exchange network of nearly 2,000 hospitals and 45,000 clinics, enabling better communication, information sharing, and reduced duplication of tests and results. 

Utilizes Epic’s HIPAA-compliant communication system, removing the need for an open-source HL7 interface to exchange messages between systems.

Complete medical history is updated and shared, allowing providers to understand a patient’s overall health, including chronic conditions, allergies, and previous treatments.
