If any of you use Epic for employee/occupational health, do you also have a secondary software or can Epic “do it all?”

We have a new CIO who is claiming we can build everything in Epic and pull in data from our HRIS and payroll systems to cover everything our current EH/OH software accomplishes.

Current state:

Employee Health uses ReadySet for their EH/OH software
Pre-employment physicals are completed at 1 of 2 places:

Urgent Care’s owned by our organization: to maintain compliance of EH records being separate from personal medical records, the documentation is completed on paper and our EH team manually uploads into ReadySet.
3^rd party occupational health clinic (unaffiliated with our organization) who documents all aspects of the visit in OHM; our EH team has access to log in and download results from a portal to manually upload into ReadySet

I’m struggling to see how an Epic build can cover:

OSHA logs (this is maintained in our EH/OH software)
Workers Comp case management (exploring if our TPA can provide us with something instead)
Risk stratification for annual health maintenance (our HRIS holds the info of what risk categories each job title falls into and feeds our current EH/OH software)

I’d love to hear how others have implemented Epic at their organizations and if you were able to get rid of all other ancillary software.

For context: we are a health system with multiple locations in 3 counties in California.

Kindly,
Angeli
