Enhanced Interoperability for Personalized Care

增强了个性化护理的互操作性

The expanded APIs are designed to support version 3 of the United States Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI v3). This allows healthcare apps to receive critical data elements, including tribal affiliation, disability status, caregiver relationships, and preferred language. Additionally, the APIs facilitate the exchange of interventions related to Social Drivers of Health (SDOH), such as referrals to homeless shelters.  .

扩展的API旨在支持美国互操作核心数据（USCDI v3）的第3版。这允许医疗保健应用程序接收关键数据元素，包括部落隶属关系、残疾状况、护理人员关系和首选语言。此外，API促进了与社会健康驱动因素（SDOH）相关的干预措施的交流，例如转介到无家可归者庇护所。。

Free Access for App Developers

应用程序开发人员免费访问

Epic has made these APIs freely available to app developers through open.epic.com, its public, self-service library of over 700 industry-standard interoperability technologies. This platform, launched in 2014, has facilitated over 500 billion data exchanges in the past year alone.

Epic已通过open.Epic.com（其包含700多种行业标准互操作性技术的公共自助库）向应用程序开发人员免费提供这些API。该平台于2014年推出，仅在过去一年就促进了5000多亿次数据交换。

Commitment to Interoperability Standards

对互操作性标准的承诺

Epic’s early rollout of USCDI v3, well ahead of the December 2025 federal requirement, underscores the company’s commitment to interoperability standards. Epic also supports other key initiatives, such as the USCDI+Cancer program and the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).

Epic提前推出USCDI v3，远远早于2025年12月的联邦要求，突显了该公司对互操作性标准的承诺。Epic还支持其他关键举措，例如USCDI+癌症计划和Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement（TEFCA）。

Epic plans to further expand its APIs on open.epic to support future versions of USCDI, ensuring ongoing compliance with evolving interoperability standards

Epic计划在open.Epic上进一步扩展其API，以支持USCDI的未来版本，确保持续符合不断发展的互操作性标准

“Reliable access to Social Drivers of Health will make a real difference in people’s lives. As an example use case, a health coach app could proactively connect a patient to a food bank or transportation assistance program based on data that the app can now receive,” said Mike Pontillo, Implementation Executive at Epic..
