Which Epic capability enables data sharing with external health systems via interoperability networks?

• A. SmartPhrases
• B. Scheduling
• C. Care Everywhere
• D. In Basket

Answer: (C)

Interoperability across different health systems is enabled by a feature that connects Epic with external partners to share patient data. Care Everywhere lets clinicians access and contribute patient information with other organizations that participate in interoperable networks, bringing in records like encounters, medications, allergies, labs, and more when available and appropriate. This cross-system data sharing is what makes it possible to view a broader, longitudinal view of a patient’s information across facilities.

In contrast, SmartPhrases are quick text templates used inside notes, Scheduling handles appointments, and In Basket is internal messaging and task routing—none of these enable external data exchange. Care Everywhere is the capability built for sharing data across organizations via interoperability networks.
