OpenAI Launches Epic EHR Integration for ChatGPT for Healthcare

ChatGPT for Healthcare connects to the Epic electronic health record platform, giving clinicians at authorized organizations read-only access to patient context, including lab results, medications, and specialist notes, directly within ChatGPT when preparing for appointments. Organizations can also embed ChatGPT inside the Epic system. OpenAI released a Healthcare Public Data plugin that connects to nine official sources, among them ClinicalTrials.gov, RxNorm, DailyMed, PubMed, and CMS Coverage. The environment runs under enterprise controls including role-based access, SSO, audit logs, and a Business Associate Agreement for HIPAA-compliant workflows. OpenAI states that physicians across 60 countries, 49 languages, and 26 specialties reviewed over 700,000 model responses, with physicians rating 99.1% of EHR-context responses as safe across 4,363 ratings. For each of five connected data sources tested, OpenAI states more than 93% of responses were rated 'good' or better for accuracy.
