What is EpicCare Link?

EpicCare Link is a free, enhanced read-only application offering community providers secure, remote access to view their patients' Inova medical record. This includes labs, medications, procedures, radiology imaging, notes, demographics and insurance coverage information.

Who can use EpicCare Link?

Referring physicians and their office staff, staff of a doctor who rounds in Inova hospitals, affiliate billers, post-acute providers, and long-term care facilities. Link users can view and print notes, lab results, imaging studies, encounter reports, and procedure documentation for their patients who are seen by Inova providers.

Note: EpicCare Link is not an EMR solution and cannot be used by clinical staff to document patient information.
