Even though Epic is used in 54% of U.S. hospitals, separate imaging systems still cause stress and increase burnout among radiologists. Healthcare organizations buy Epic to keep all their records in one place, but a disconnected imaging system defeats the purpose. Our Epic PACS system fixes this problem instantly.
Radiologists and referring physicians stay within Epic with no toggling between windows, no manual patient lookup, and no duplicate logins. Images load directly in the context of the full patient record.
Integrated authentication uses Epic's identity system. Credentials are synchronized automatically, allowing clinicians to use their Epic password to access imaging studies across workflows.
When a clinician opens a patient chart in Epic, the study context carries forward. The appropriate imaging series is available immediately without manual study selection or worklist queries.
Structured measurements from radiology reports flow directly into Epic's discrete data model. Referring physicians see quantified findings directly in their orders, not just in the report text.
Security, audit trails, and data governance are inherited directly from Epic. Operating one unified system means dealing with one audit scope, one backup strategy, and one disaster recovery plan.
Radiologists no longer wait for manual transcription handoffs. Reports flow directly from speech recognition software into Epic's results infrastructure with zero intermediate steps.

PACScribe uses Epic's APIs and DICOM standards. No need for proprietary connectors or vendor lock-in.
HL7 v2 messaging for ADT (admit/discharge/transfer) events, ORM (order) messages, and result updates. FHIR APIs for modern interoperability.
Full DICOM compliance ensures that imaging data flows securely between modalities, the archive, and Epic's embedded viewer. Single sign-on is enforced at the DICOM level.
PACScribe responds to context requests from Epic's viewer. When a clinician opens a patient in Epic, the PACS automatically retrieves and displays the correct studies.
Numeric findings (tumor size, density measurements, cardiac dimensions) are transmitted to Epic as structured data, not embedded in report text.
Order Placement
A radiologist or technologist creates a study order in Epic. ORM message triggers study creation in PACScribe PACS.
HL7 ORM
Authentication
Clinician logs into Epic. Credentials are passed to PACScribe; no separate login is required. Session is tied to Epic's audit trail.
Epic SSO / SAML
Image Retrieval
Embedded viewer in Epic (or web-based PACS client) retrieves images from PACScribe archive via WADO/DICOM.
DICOM / WADO
Report Finalization
Radiologist completes report in speech-to-text. The report is filed in PACS; the ORU (result) message notifies Epic that the study is complete.
HL7 ORU
Measurement Transmission
Structured findings (e.g., "Nodule size: 8.2 mm") are extracted from the radiology report and sent as discrete fields to Epic.
HL7 OBX (observation)
Patient Context
When Epic opens a patient chart, PACScribe receives the patient ID and automatically surfaces relevant prior studies in the PACS viewer.
