Why 145+ Health Systems Integrate Epic™ and Findhelp

Connecting patients to social care should not add steps or administrative frustration for care teams. Managing social care directly inside your electronic health record (EHR) through Findhelp’s Epic integrations saves clinician time, eliminates duplicate data entry, and keeps the focus on patient care.

Recently, we hosted a webinar exploring how to configure Findhelp’s suite of Epic tools to efficiently match specific workflows, address health-related social needs, and drive institutional cost savings. With deeper integrations than any social care vendor, we collaborate closely with Epic to define social care workflows, create simple pathways that save staff time and effort, and keep information inside the EHR—where it belongs.

Finding the right integration for specific workflows

Our configurable integration offerings enable efficient screening, referral, and documentation workflows so that staff can keep their focus on patient care. We offer four distinct integrations for customers who use Epic, in both native and SMART on FHIR methods, tailored to support different workflows:

Healthy Planet Native Integration

Search for services that meet your patients’ social needs using native tools and workflows in Epic Healthy Planet. 

Native+ Integration with Compass Rose

Includes Native functionality, with the added benefit of being able to send referrals directly to select nonprofits via Epic Compass Rose or Clinical Case Management (CCM) modules. Referral status updates made in Findhelp are reflected in Epic.

MyChart Promotion

Give patients a simple and scalable solution for anonymous patient self-navigation by adding your branded community site to MyChart.


Trusted by Epic organizations nationwide

Almost 150 academic medical centers, health systems, community hospitals, community health centers, and other providers have integrated Findhelp into their Epic system using our configurable options.



Benefits of integrating Findhelp into Epic

Driving operational efficiency for staff

Organizations see immediate value when they reduce the manual work required to connect people to care.

UCHealth uses Findhelp's Epic integrations
  • Employed multiple dedicated full-time staff responsible for manually transcribing community program recommendations onto Epic patient charts.
  • Implemented Findhelp’s Automated Program Recommendations (a complement to their Launch integration) to find relevant programs—with zero additional clicks—for every patient who screened positive for a social care need.
  • This automated workflow saved an estimated 1.3 million annual clicks and over 47,000 manual hours.
  • Successfully evolved their Findhelp platform from a website-based directory into an essential, integrated operational tool.
  • Implemented Findhelp’s Epic Launch integration as part of a strategic operational rollout.
  • Staff adoption more than doubled, leading to a 270% increase in social care referrals.


Improving clinical outcomes and reducing costs

Connecting individuals to the right resources helps provide truly holistic care that addresses the social drivers of health.

  • MassHealth’s 1115 Medicaid Waiver (“Flex Services”) unlocked $150 million to address health-related social needs (HRSNs).
  • Mass General Brigham used their Findhelp platform (integrated into Epic) to send Flex Services referrals to 17 contracted housing and nutrition partners across the state.
  • A MassHealth study identified a net benefit of nearly $2,500 in cost of care savings for those patients that were successfully connected to nutrition programs, alongside significant reductions in hospitalizations and ED visits.

At a regional level, our tools facilitate critical funding for community-based organizations. To date, Findhelp has facilitated over $250 million of reimbursement requests submitted directly through our platform as part of the New York state 1115 Medicaid waiver.


Empowering patients through self-navigation

Beyond staff navigation, health systems can easily integrate Findhelp into existing resources to empower members of the community to self-navigate. Customers with MyChart integrations have significantly increased site usage and access to social care.

  • Launched a MyChart announcement banner that directs patients to their community site.
  • This low urgency message increased site traffic 15x, spiking from roughly 200 patients a week to 3,000 patients a week.
