What is the purpose of the alerts feature in EpicCare Link?

The alerts feature in EpicCare Link plays a crucial role in enhancing patient care by ensuring that healthcare providers receive timely notifications about critical patient information. This includes important updates such as changes in a patient’s condition, lab results, medication changes, or other significant health events. By having access to this vital information, providers can make informed decisions, respond promptly to patient needs, and improve overall outcomes.

The primary focus of this feature is communication among healthcare professionals so that they remain aware of any issues that could impact patient care. This is not limited to notifying patients about appointments, addressing billing reminders, or serving marketing purposes. Instead, the alerts are designed specifically to enhance clinical decision-making and coordination of care among providers.
