How Digital Health Platforms Are Integrating with Primary Care EHRs

Lucas and Luna explore the messy, high-stakes world of EHR integration for digital health platforms. They focus on a specific case: how a chronic care management startup called Rimidi built a direct bridge into Epic Systems, the dominant EHR used by over 250 million patients in the US. The hosts walk through the technical hurdles, the data-privacy landmines, and the business incentives that make or break these integrations. They discuss Rimidi's decision to embed its hypertension and diabetes workflows directly into the clinician's existing screen rather than creating a separate app — and why that choice matters for adoption. The episode also touches on the broader trend of EHRs becoming platforms, with reference to Apple Health Records and the HL7 FHIR standard. No hype, just the reality of getting software to talk to hospital systems. #EHRIntegration #DigitalHealth #EpicSystems #Rimidi #HealthTech #PrimaryCare #FHIR #PlatformStrategy #ChronicCare #Interoperability #ClinicalWorkflow #DataPrivacy #AppleHealthRecords #HealthIT #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PodcastEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
