The shift to value-based care isn’t a future trend; it’s happening now. For hospitals, especially those navigating tight margins and evolving payer expectations, this shift demands more than just clinical excellence. It requires infrastructure that supports proactive care, strong coordination, and clear accountability across teams.
Traditional EHR systems, while good at recording patient data, often fall short when it comes to managing care across populations or meeting the demands of risk-based models. Hospitals need something more than an electronic filing cabinet; they need tools that help them see the bigger picture and act on it.
That’s where Epic Healthy Planet steps in. It’s not a bolt-on solution or a third-party plugin. It’s a native part of the Epic EHR ecosystem, explicitly designed to help hospitals manage population health, track quality measures, and support patients more effectively under value-based care models.
With Healthy Planet, hospitals gain a structured, data-informed approach to addressing care gaps, managing risk, and improving outcomes, without overloading clinical teams with new workflows or disconnected tools.
For hospitals, value-based care is no longer optional. Whether you’re part of an ACO, a Medicaid Managed Care plan, or entering into a shared savings agreement with commercial payers, the message is clear: outcomes matter, and so does cost.
Hospitals are expected to deliver more coordinated, proactive care while managing financial risk. That’s not easy. Regulatory bodies, patient expectations, and evolving reimbursement models have raised the bar. It’s no longer just about treating what’s in front of you; it’s about managing the full health journey of every patient, especially those with chronic or complex conditions.
But hospitals face real obstacles in making this shift.
These challenges can be especially tough for mid-sized hospitals, where resources are limited and teams are already stretched. What’s needed is a system that helps manage complexity, without adding more of it.
That’s exactly the role Epic Healthy Planet is designed to play.
Epic Healthy Planet is Epic’s population health platform, built not as an add-on, but as a fully integrated part of the Epic EHR system. It’s designed to help hospitals shift from treating one patient at a time to managing the health of entire populations, which is exactly what value-based care requires.
Healthy Planet consolidates data across the care continuum, including clinical records, claims, and social risk factors, making it usable for identifying risk, tracking quality measures, and coordinating care across teams. It provides hospital staff with a clear, actionable view of patient groups: who needs follow-up, who is at risk of avoidable hospitalization, and who is falling through the cracks.
This isn’t just about reports. It’s about real-time workflows. Care managers, population health teams, and clinicians can all use Healthy Planet to track progress, assign tasks, close care gaps, and report on outcomes.
Whether you’re participating in an Accountable Care Organization (ACO), engaging in shared risk with payers, or just trying to improve operational performance under Medicare and Medicaid programs, Healthy Planet is built for that.
It includes tools that support:
Healthy Planet isn’t a one-size-fits-all product. It’s a framework hospitals can adapt to their own goals, starting small and expanding over time.

Epic Healthy Planet isn’t just a dashboard or reporting tool. It’s a set of working features that help hospitals act on their data, without creating more burden for staff. Here’s a closer look at the core capabilities that directly support value-based care delivery:
One of the most powerful aspects of Healthy Planet is its ability to bring together clinical, claims, and social data into a single patient profile. This unified view provides care teams with the full context they need, extending beyond what is in the EHR.
The system stratifies patients by risk using predictive models, helping care teams focus their time where it matters most. Whether it’s patients with uncontrolled chronic conditions or those at risk of readmission, the platform flags them early, allowing for timely outreach and intervention.
This approach turns data into a triage tool, not just a record-keeping system.
Managing care across departments, clinics, and specialties requires structure, and that’s exactly what Healthy Planet offers.
Hospitals can assign care managers, physicians, and support staff to patient panels, set measurable goals, and track progress over time. Shared dashboards make it easier to avoid duplication of work, reduce handoff errors, and ensure continuity, particularly for high-risk patients who frequently transition between settings.
Everything is integrated. If a care provider updates a goal or notes a follow-up, the information is automatically added to the patient’s record, eliminating the need for additional documentation.
In value-based care, reporting isn’t just about checking boxes; it has a direct impact on reimbursement and compliance. Healthy Planet automates much of this work.
It tracks key quality metrics, CMS measures, HEDIS scores, and custom payer programs in real time. When a patient fails to comply with a screening, check-up, or care milestone, the system flags the issue.
This helps hospitals stay ahead of penalties, meet targets for shared savings, and provide leadership with clear insights into how the organization is performing.
Clinical care is only part of the picture. Social drivers, such as access to food, housing, and transportation, can be the tipping point between success and readmission.
Healthy Planet lets hospitals capture and act on social determinants of health (SDOH) data as part of the patient record. Staff can screen for needs, document risks, and refer patients to community-based services directly from the system.
These touchpoints are tracked like any other clinical metric, ensuring they’re not treated as “nice-to-haves,” but as part of a complete care plan.
Patients are more likely to follow care plans when they’re connected between visits, and Healthy Planet makes that possible through MyChart and remote tools.
Hospitals can deliver condition-specific education, questionnaires, appointment reminders, and behavioral nudges. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices, such as blood pressure cuffs or glucose meters, can transmit data directly into Epic for care teams to review.
This kind of engagement doesn’t just improve satisfaction; it supports better outcomes and fewer unplanned hospital visits.
RPMCheck AI: A Workflow for Smarter Remote Monitoring. It is a customizable solution that automates remote patient monitoring check-ins, collects vital signs, identifies abnormal readings, and triggers automatic follow-ups with care managers.
Hospitals using this workflow can move beyond passive data collection and act on patient insights in real time, improving care outcomes while reducing staff burden.
The value of Epic Healthy Planet isn’t theoretical. Hospitals using it have seen measurable improvements in care delivery, patient outcomes, and financial performance under risk-based models. Here are just a few examples of how it’s working in real hospital settings:
A mid-sized hospital in the Midwest used Healthy Planet to close gaps in colorectal cancer screening. By identifying patients overdue for screening and using built-in outreach tools, care managers were able to prioritize follow-up, coordinate scheduling, and track completions.
Result: The hospital improved its colorectal screening rates by 24% over 12 months, boosting quality scores and avoiding missed incentive dollars from its payer contracts.
A large regional health system implemented Healthy Planet for post-discharge care coordination among patients with heart failure. The platform helped identify patients at high risk for readmission, assigned follow-up tasks to care managers, and ensured patients received timely interventions.
Result: The system saw a 15% reduction in 30-day readmissions for CHF patients, improving both clinical outcomes and financial performance under its Medicare Shared Savings Program.
Another hospital participating in an ACO used Healthy Planet to stratify risk across its entire Medicare population. This allowed care teams to focus more intensely on the top 5% of patients driving the highest costs.
By proactively managing these patients through care plans, outreach, and social support, the hospital improved its utilization metrics and closed key care gaps.
Result: The hospital qualified for increased reimbursement through shared savings, reinvesting those dollars into community health initiatives.
These examples are just the beginning. Whether your goal is to improve outcomes, meet payer expectations, or better support complex populations, Healthy Planet provides your team with the tools to make measurable progress and demonstrate it.
One of the biggest advantages of Epic Healthy Planet is that it’s not a third-party add-on; it’s fully integrated into the Epic EHR environment your teams already use. That makes a big difference, both in day-to-day operations and long-term adoption.
Because Healthy Planet shares the same foundation as Epic’s clinical and billing modules, there’s no need for duplicate documentation, separate logins, or jumping between systems. Providers, nurses, care coordinators, and analysts all work within a familiar interface.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
This tight integration means staff don’t have to learn a new system from scratch. For IT and compliance teams, it simplifies governance, reporting, and security management, as all functions run within your existing Epic instance.
In short, Healthy Planet doesn’t add more complexity to your stack; it extends the value of the tools you already trust.
For mid-sized hospitals, every technology decision is a tradeoff, especially when resources are tight. Epic Healthy Planet offers real advantages for organizations looking to move into value-based care, but like any platform, it comes with considerations. Here’s a breakdown to help leadership teams think through the fit.
• Cost Efficiency with Modular Rollout
Healthy Planet is designed to scale. Mid-sized hospitals can start small, focusing on key patient populations or specific quality measures, and expand over time. You don’t have to implement everything on day one.
• Interoperability with Existing Epic Setup
If you’re already using Epic EHR, integration is seamless. Healthy Planet uses the same data structure, login, and workflows, which keeps IT overhead low and avoids vendor sprawl.
• Increased ROI through Value-Based Programs
Hospitals using Healthy Planet are better equipped to perform under ACO contracts, Medicare Advantage models, and other shared-risk arrangements. Even modest gains in quality scores or readmission rates can translate into financial upside.
• Streamlined Staff Workflows
Instead of working with spreadsheets or switching between tools, care teams operate within a single system. This reduces administrative load, speeds up interventions, and leads to stronger coordination across departments.
• Initial Resource Commitment
Implementation takes planning. Even with Epic integration, your team will need to configure dashboards, train staff, and set up workflows. For smaller teams, this can be a stretch without outside support.
• Dependence on Data Quality
Healthy Planet’s effectiveness depends on clean, consistent data. If documentation practices vary across your teams, the insights you get back may be incomplete or misleading.
• Change Management Required
Some clinicians may be resistant to new population health workflows, especially if they already feel overloaded. It takes leadership and effective communication to ensure teams understand how this supports, rather than disrupts, their work.
• Customization Limits
While Healthy Planet is powerful, it’s still built within Epic’s framework. Customizing it to fit unique hospital processes may require extra work or, in some cases, compromise.
For most mid-sized hospitals, the benefits far outweigh the challenges, especially with the right implementation partner in place to bridge the gaps.
Epic Healthy Planet has the potential to transform how hospitals manage care, but only if it’s implemented with a clear strategy and strong execution. That’s where Mindbowser comes in.

Ready to unlock the full potential of Epic Healthy Planet?
Let’s discuss how your hospital can transition from data to real outcomes more quickly.
Epic Healthy Planet isn’t just another module. It’s a strategic step toward making value-based care real, not just in theory, but in daily operations. For hospitals, it brings together the data, tools, and workflows needed to manage populations, close care gaps, and stay ahead of evolving payer expectations.
But success doesn’t come from the technology alone. It stems from how well it aligns with your goals, your team, and your patients. When thoughtfully implemented, Healthy Planet helps hospitals move beyond compliance to a place where proactive care, measurable outcomes, and smarter resource use become the new standard.
And with the right partner guiding your rollout, that future gets a lot closer.
No. While it’s widely used by large systems, Epic Healthy Planet scales well for mid-sized hospitals too. You can start with targeted programs, like chronic care management or preventive screenings, and expand over time. The modular approach provides flexibility tailored to your team size and population health goals.
It depends on the scope. Some hospitals begin seeing results in 3–6 months with focused use cases. Full-scale implementation, including quality tracking, care coordination, and SDOH integration, may take longer. Partnering with an experienced team can shorten this timeline and reduce friction during rollout.
No. Healthy Planet is fully integrated within the Epic EHR environment, so staff can access it using the same system they already use. This helps avoid duplicate documentation and reduces the learning curve for care teams.
Yes. One of Healthy Planet’s core strengths is real-time tracking of CMS, HEDIS, and payer-specific quality measures. It flags when patients fall out of compliance and helps automate the data collection needed for reporting, reducing the manual burden on your teams.
