Epic Specialties & Ancillaries Modules

Epic Beacon

Epic Beacon, the medical oncology module, allows medical professionals to create personalized treatment plans for cancer patients. This module supports decision making as it can provide recommendations based on chart data; allow physicians to document disease staging; manage chemotherapy doses; and more.

Before a patient arrives, the module can be used to create medication orders for timely treatments with clinicians able to track a person’s medical journey, including outpatient visits and hospital stays, and transition the person to post-cancer care.

Epic Beaker

Epic Beaker, meanwhile, is the application’s laboratory information system (LIS) and it actually features and manages workflows via two modules: Beaker Anatomic Pathology (AP) and Beaker Clinical Pathology (CP). The system’s barcode-enabled workflows provide easy and accurate tracking of patient specimens from the point of collection within and across sites.

Healthcare organizations who use Epic Beaker appreciate how the technology seamlessly transfers data from the LIS to Epic EHR. The dual module goes beyond specimen tracking, also supporting general lab workflows as well as these: client support; cytology; hematology; histology; microbiology; quality control; and surgical pathology.

Epic Bones

Not surprisingly, given the name, Epic Bones is the module designed for orthopedic and sports medicine workflows. The system provides robust support to orthopedic surgery teams across the entire continuum of care: from targeted assessment tools to ones for joint injection support, location-based documentation, pre- and post-surgical treatment, and follow-up care.

Epic Cupid

Epic Cupid is the application’s cardiovascular information system (CIS) module. Originally named Cardiant, this technology allows your teams to enter orders, schedule patients, record documentation, create analytical reporting, and more for surgeries, and invasive and non-invasive procedures and interventions.

Besides automatically generating text, it creates interactive diagrams for coronary arteries, wall motion, and wall scoring; pulls in ultrasound measurements; and more. Procedural workflows supported by Cupid include cardiac catheterizations, echocardiograms, electrophysical documentation, stress testing, and ultrasound vascular.

Epic Lumens

Epic Lumens provides viewing, documentation, management, and reporting capabilities for endoscopy, bronchoscopy, ureteroscopy, and related procedures. This module leverages relevant elements of inpatient, outpatient, and day surgery toolkits to streamline care coordination for medical professionals performing these specialties.

Epic Radiant

Epic Radiant is the applications radiology information system (RIS), primarily used by hospital radiology departments for mammograms and related functions. In this module, your healthcare team can have access to your patient’s appointment schedule, medical history, results, and more. This allows them to track changes and discrepancies, manage recommendations, communicate with physicians involved with diagnosing and treating a patient, and more. Technologists can directly document contrast in a patient’s record along with estimated radiation doses.
