You’re not going to find an integration with Epic – Epic currently doesn’t really support any Occupational Health clinical activities such as screening audiometry. They are in early development of a new Occ Med module, but best guess is that this is 2-3 years away.

 

If you are doing Occ Med for external companies other than your health care facility/system, I would encourage looking at dedicated Occ Med software. If you are only doing Employee Health for the medical facility, there is also dedicated software for this purpose that is not quite as robust as the Occ Med software. Lots of options out there.

Hi all, 

 

Which audiometer does your institution use and which electronic health record does it integrate with? San Francisco General Hospital is transitioning into Epic and while our current audiometer integrates with our existing EHR (OHM), it will not do so for Epic. The option provided is a manual entry and STS calculations can be done via report generation, but it will take about a 24 hour lag for the report to be generated. 

 

We are looking into middleware software to bridge the gap as we transition to Epic and wondering if the group has some recommendation for audiometers and softwares and associated costs that we could look into.  

 

Thanks for your time!

 

Best,
