Epion Health is leveraging the power of mobile devices at the point of care to deliver interactive solutions to both patients and providers. Epion provides a variety of mobile health applications and content using a cloud based application and content management solution. From patient check-in through check-out, Epion engages the patient and provide tools to enhance the patient/provider experience. By fully integrating with Electronic Health Record and Practice Management systems, administrative costs are reduced and efficiencies are gained.

Epion Health was recently selected by athenahealth as an initial partner in their More Disruption Please initiative. Epion and athenahealth will work together to interface the Epion patient intake and education solutions with the athenahealth electronic health record and practice management software. The goal of the program is to offer the Epion product to athenahealth\\\'s eligible client base of approximately 35,000 physicians.

Products / Services
The inefficiencies, high costs and errors associated with checking in patients using traditional paper based clipboard systems led to the development of a mobile solution to complete the digital loop at the point of care. The mobile solution also includes health assessments, surveys, patient education and other tools to improve outcomes. Patients read educational content from Mayo Clinic, watch videos from HealthiNation and have access to other best-in class health information and applications. By integrating this tool set into their practice, physicians encourage patients to be more involved in their health care. Improved health literacy leads to better outcomes and lower healthcare costs. Combined with the administrative tools for the patient intake process, the integrated solution reduces staffing costs and improves quality metrics.
Technology / Differentiation
Cloud based server management of content, applications and hardware. Secure, customized user interface creating a kiosk type, yet mobile, user experience.
