Summary
OpenAI introduced a read-only Epic EHR integration that lets authorised clinicians review appointment notes, laboratory results, medications and specialist documentation in ChatGPT for Healthcare. It also launched a Healthcare Public Data plugin for official medical and public-health sources, with access controlled by organisational approval, existing Epic permissions and individual clinician sign-in.
Why it matters
This is a concrete move from general-purpose chat into high-stakes clinical systems, where permission inheritance, auditability and clinician review matter as much as model quality.
