Hire Dedicated Epic Integration Developers in the USA

Epic powers more U.S. health system beds than any other EHR. If you are building a SMART on FHIR app for Epic App Orchard, a clinical decision support tool that launches from Hyperspace, an ambient documentation feature that writes back to the patient chart, or a population-health pipeline fed by Epic Bulk Data, you need engineers who have shipped against Epic in production. Not engineers who have read the App Orchard developer documentation once and run a sandbox tutorial.

Taction Software’s Epic integration engineers have delivered 80+ Epic integrations across SMART on FHIR launch apps, Bulk Data pipelines, USCDI v3 compliance work, and direct API integrations. Engagements start at $8,000 per engineer per month with a 14-day onboarding window and a Business Associate Agreement signed before any PHI touches our systems.

Why Epic Integration Is Harder Than Generic EHR Integration

Epic is the most demanding integration target in U.S. healthcare. The reasons are practical and architectural:

Featured

What We Screen For Before Placement

Every Taction Epic engineer is screened on four criteria:

  • At least one shipped App Orchard app or equivalent production Epic integration
  • SMART on FHIR launch fluency — provider launch, patient launch, backend services
  • Epic-specific FHIR R4 experience — USCDI v3, Bulk Data, and the Epic-specific behavior of common resources
  • HIPAA-grade engineering habits — BAA-aware, PHI-aware logging, audit discipline

What a Taction Epic Engineer Does on Day One

You get a dedicated engineer embedded in your team for a minimum 3-month engagement billed monthly at $8K.

Featured

Week One and Two Deliverables

  • Map your Epic integration scope against App Orchard requirements and timeline
  • Stand up an Epic sandbox connection with SMART on FHIR launch
  • Implement the OAuth 2.0 SMART launch flow with the correct Epic-specific scopes
  • Build the first end-to-end resource fetch against the Epic sandbox
  • Wire audit logging that captures user, resource, action, and timestamp per HIPAA §164.312(b)
  • Produce an App Orchard submission checklist if distribution is the goal

By week six, that engineer is shipping production code against your Epic targets and either preparing the App Orchard submission or integrating directly with a partner Epic site.

    For a project-based estimate, use the healthcare AI cost calculator or the EHR integration calculator.

HIPAA Compliance Baseline

Every Taction Epic engagement starts with the same baseline.

  • BAA executed before any access to PHI-bearing systems
  • HIPAA Security Rule §164.308, §164.310, and §164.312 controls verified
  • Audit logging at the FHIR resource access layer
  • PHI redaction in logs, error reports, and any AI inference pipeline
  • Encryption at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3
  • App Orchard security review readiness baked into the engineering workflow
