Operational AIWhat connects
What can the
integration do?
Start an Epic integration discussion with a bounded operational workflow: where the work begins, what Linear is expected to do and where staff take over. Linear Health has an established Epic integration that works alongside your existing EHR and writes booked appointments and status updates back into the chart.
An established integration
Epic is an established Linear Health integration using standard health-data interfaces. Review the intended workflow with the operational and technical owners together.
Appointment and status write-back
Booked appointments and status updates are written back into the chart. Use these confirmed outcomes when defining where the coordination workflow ends and staff responsibility continues.
The connection
What moves
between systems?
Use the workflow and its chart updates as the starting point for your implementation discussion.
- Connection
- Established Epic integration through standard health-data interfaces. Linear operates alongside the existing EHR.
- Incoming context
- Planning question: what starts the coordination workflow, which information is required, and which team confirms that the item belongs in scope?
- Write-back
- Confirmed write-back includes booked appointments and status updates. Agree the outcome that marks the handoff back to your team.
Implementation
Plan your
setup.
These planning steps help your operations and technical teams define the configuration that fits your organization.
Choose a bounded use case
Identify one coordination workflow, its starting point and the team that owns it. Define the result you want to see in the chart and keep later workflow additions separate from the first acceptance decision.
Agree the responsibility boundaries
Document what the coordination workflow should accomplish and where staff involvement is required. Include who answers questions about starting information, chart outcomes and work that falls outside the agreed process.
Check the handoff back to staff
Review a completed appointment path and an unresolved example. Confirm the expected status update, the receiving team's next action and the acceptance evidence needed before extending the workflow to more use cases.
Scope and prerequisites
- Confirm your organization's implementation requirements and responsibilities; this overview does not define every Epic environment or data object.
- Additional chart actions should be included explicitly in the agreed workflow scope.
Ownership and security
Identify the operational owner for exceptions and the technical owner for access, mappings, and chart verification. Agree the handoff before enabling a workflow.
