Sync Item Information With Epic

You can sync your item master, item inventory location, and item cost information with Epic.

You can publish items from your item master thereby eliminating duplicate items that might be created in the Epic item master. You can access critical attributes directly in Oracle ERP Cloud and it isn't required to maintain this information in Epic. This minimizes errors that might occur due to manual maintenance, thus accelerating the release of the item for clinical purposes.

Before you sync items with Epic, do the following:

1. Deploy the existing healthcare library. The standard integration works with the predefined healthcare library. For additional details about healthcare library, see Use Predefined Extensible Flexfield Attributes for Maintaining Healthcare Product Data.

Epic Integration Process

When the Synchronize Items with Oracle Health scheduled process is initiated, the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM — Epic | Sync Items recipe performs the following:

1. Downloads the ZIP files from Oracle WebCenter Content.
2. Transforms data and creates files for Epic in HL7 format.
3. Loads the file in the file server for Epic to process.
4. Communicates with Product Data Steward and administrator for resolution if data transfer fails.
