Epic Canto

Epic Canto is an app designed by Epic Systems Corporation for healthcare providers to access real-time patient information and scheduling data from an Apple iPad. It is an essential part of the Epic EHR suite and caters specifically to the needs of busy clinicians. This app allows healthcare professionals to stay connected to patient records, manage their schedules, and communicate with colleagues. This quick mobile access is crucial in fast-paced healthcare settings, where accessing information and EHR tools greatly impacts patient care and operational efficiency.

Epic Canto has several vital functions, including the ability for clinicians to view and update patient charts, check lab results, and review medication lists, ensuring the most up-to-date and accurate information is available for patient care. This real-time access to information from prior outpatient and inpatient encounters, such as admission details, reason for visit, notes, and orders, is especially valuable during patient rounds, emergencies, and follow-up appointments, where immediate access to such data allows for quicker and more informed decision-making.

Epic Canto facilitates secure messaging, enabling healthcare providers to communicate and coordinate care plans. This is essential for maintaining high standards of patient care and reducing the risk of mistakes. Canto also lets providers view their appointment and surgery schedules, and supports dictation and in Basket access, to supplement Epic Hyperspace when Hyperspace is not available.
