Build on Epic Data Without Waiting on Epic to Build It for You
Why Connect Epic and Knack Health
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.
What Data You Can Pull from Epic
The Epic FHIR connector supports ten data types today, with more on the way.
Patient demographics
Search by name, MRN, or DOB — powers intake pre-fill and patient lookup
Appointments
Diagnoses and problem list
Medication orders
Vital signs
Lab results
Search by name, MRN, or DOB — powers intake pre-fill and patient lookup
Diagnostic reports
Allergies and reactions
Immunization history
Insurance coverage
Active plan details including member ID, group number, payer, and effective dates
What You Can Build with the Epic Connector
These are the workflows your teams are currently managing in spreadsheets, inboxes, and disconnected tools. Each one can be built in Knack Health using live Epic data.
Action
Patient intake portal with Epic pre-fill
Pre-fill intake form
Submit to workflow
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.
Action
Chronic disease registry and care gap tracker
Pull diagnoses from Epic
Action
Medication reconciliation and discharge checklist
Discharge checklist
Action
Vitals trend dashboard for RPM and chronic disease monitoring
Action
Lab results dashboard and A1C / HEDIS quality tracker
Quality measure reporting requires aggregating lab results across populations — a task that currently means Epic report requests, manual exports, and spreadsheet reconciliation.
Quality measure tracker
Action
Radiology and diagnostic result tracker with specialist follow-up
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.
Employee immunization verification and vaccine gap tracker
Employee health programs, credentialing teams, and public health compliance dashboards require immunization records that live in Epic — accessed today by screenshotting MyChart or asking employees for paper records.
Pull complete immunization histories — vaccine name, CVX code, date, lot number, dose number, and route — directly from Epic. Build employee health trackers, vaccine series completion dashboards, or preventive care gap reports that stay current automatically.
Billing & revenue
Action
Insurance eligibility verification and prior auth prep
Billing & revenue
Action
Revenue cycle dashboard combining patient, coverage, and visit data
Revenue cycle leaders lack a real-time operational view — the data exists in Epic but producing a usable dashboard means waiting for a Reporting Workbench extract or an IT ticket.
Combine patient demographics, insurance coverage, appointment status, and diagnosis data from Epic into a Knack revenue cycle dashboard. Surface billing gaps, unverified coverage, and upcoming high-complexity visits — without writing a single Epic report.

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.

Action
Chronic disease registry and care gap tracker
Care managers manually pull problem lists and lab results across patients to identify gaps — a process that takes hours and misses high-risk individuals.
Pull active conditions and diagnoses from Epic’s problem list (ICD-10, SNOMED) across your patient population. Build care gap registries that surface patients with unmanaged chronic disease, overdue labs, or missing follow-ups.
Action
Medication reconciliation and discharge checklist
Action
Vitals trend dashboard for RPM and chronic disease monitoring
Remote patient monitoring and value-based care programs need longitudinal vitals data — but pulling flowsheet data from Epic for non-clinical staff requires IT involvement every time.
Query Epic vitals — blood pressure, heart rate, BMI, weight, O2 saturation — with LOINC codes and reference ranges. Build hypertension trackers, RPM dashboards, or wellness program monitors accessible to care coordinators without EHR licenses.
Action
Lab results dashboard and A1C / HEDIS quality tracker
Quality measure reporting requires aggregating lab results across populations — a task that currently means Epic report requests, manual exports, and spreadsheet reconciliation.
Pull component-level lab results with values, units, reference ranges, and interpretation flags directly from Epic. Build A1C registries, HEDIS quality measure trackers, or population health analytics dashboards — updated in real time without running Epic reports.

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.

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.
