EpicCare Link
EpicCare Link is Epic’s web-based application for connecting organizations to their community affiliates. It provides community users secure access to select patient information in CHI Saint Joseph Health’s Epic data repository.
EpicCare Link is not an EMR solution. It is a read-only application with some service-oriented features which are configured to facilitate patient care with community practices.
Examples of community users include people outside of CHI Saint Joseph Health who might need to review the clinical and administrative information of patients seen at our organization. Affiliate clinical staff, billers, long-term care facilities, and correctional facilities are examples of EpicCare Link users.

Process for EpicCare Link Access
The Organization must be enrolled first. Use the enroll Organization link.
After the Organization is enrolled, site administrators must be designated for the Organization. Use the Site Administrator Request link.
The request link has two actions:
- Requested Site Administrator completes their portion and forwards the request link to the Practice/Payer contact. This cannot be the same person as the site administrator.
- The Organization contact completes and submits the request.
NOTE: Two site administrators per organization are recommended.
Once the site administrator has been enrolled, individual users can request access using the Request Individual User Access link.
The request has two actions:
- End user completes their portion and saves the form. This will populate the site administrator's email address into a link. The end user clicks to send the email.
- The site administrator completes and submits the request.
Throughout the process, the requestor will be notified if the request is approved or denied. If you have any questions about the process or status of a request, please email [email protected].
