Build on Epic Data Without Waiting on Epic to Build It for You

Knack Health’s no-code builder connects to Epic’s FHIR API so your operations, care coordination, and revenue cycle teams get the clinical data they need — without custom Epic development, IT involvement, or additional MyChart licenses.

Why Connect Epic and Knack Health

Epic holds the data your team needs to operate. But getting that data outside the EHR — into the hands of intake coordinators, care managers, billing staff, or compliance teams — usually means IT tickets, custom Epic development, or expanding expensive licenses.

Knack Health changes that. You connect to Epic’s FHIR API and build functioning, real-world, secure healthcare apps around the clinical data you need — no code, no custom development, no waiting.

Your team gets structured workflows, live data access, and tools that match how they actually work.

What Data You Can Pull from Epic

The Epic FHIR connector supports ten data types today, with more on the way.

Operations

Action

Patient intake portal with Epic pre-fill

Intake coordinators re-key demographic data that already exists in Epic — creating errors, delays, and a poor patient experience at the front door.
Search Epic by name, MRN, or DOB from your Knack intake portal and pre-populate intake forms with verified demographics, insurance, and contact info. No double entry. No manual errors.

Action

Scheduling dashboard and no-show tracker

Scheduling ops teams have no single view of appointment status across departments — no-show patterns go undetected until they hit the revenue report.

Query Epic appointments by patient, date, status, or service category inside Knack. Build dashboards that surface upcoming visits, flag cancelled or missed appointments, and feed automated reminder or outreach workflows.

Safety & compliance 

Action

Pre-procedure safety checklist with live allergy data

Pre-procedure safety checks rely on staff manually reviewing Epic for allergy and medication contraindications — a step that gets skipped when teams are rushed.

Fetch live allergy and adverse reaction data from Epic — substance, reaction type, severity, and criticality — and surface it in a structured Knack safety checklist. Pair with medication orders for a complete contraindication screen before any procedure.

How the Integration Works

Knack Health connects to Epic through its certified FHIR R4 API.

This is the same API Epic has made available to third-party developers across its network — which means the integration works without custom Epic builds, special contracts, or months of implementation.

Once connected, you can pull live data from Epic into your Knack apps. Your team works in Knack. The data stays in sync with Epic. No exports, no re-entry, no manual refreshes.

You can also combine data types in a single workflow. An intake portal can pull patient demographics and insurance coverage at the same time. A discharge checklist can surface both medication orders and allergy records together. A revenue cycle dashboard can join patient data, appointment status, and coverage details in one view.

 

Why Knack Health

Most tools that connect to Epic move data. Knack Health helps you build with it
You can create real working apps — intake portals, care gap registries, safety checklists, revenue dashboards — using AI-assisted, no-code app building. Non-technical teams can build and maintain these tools without depending on engineering or vendor development queues.
That matters with Epic. Because Epic environments vary by organization, Knack Health is flexible by design. You work with the data your organization actually has access to, structured around the workflows your teams actually use.
  • Role-based access so staff only see what they need — no additional EHR licenses required
  • HIPAA-compliant infrastructure built for healthcare data
  • Combine data from multiple Epic resources in a single app
  • AI-powered app building so operations teams can build without code
  • Start with one workflow and expand as needs grow

Implementation

Knack Health supports Epic FHIR integrations based on your organization’s setup and API access. Most teams start with a single workflow — an intake portal, a care gap registry, a billing dashboard — and expand from there.

You don’t need developers to build in Knack. For API configuration and initial Epic connection setup, some technical support may be helpful. Our team works with you to scope the right starting point and get your first workflow live quickly.

Need a specific Epic workflow — or a different EHR connector?

We’re building out V2 of the Epic connector and expanding to Cerner, eClinicalWorks, and more. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll prioritize it.
