Augustun + Epic EHR Integration: Ambient AI Scribe, ICD-10/CPT Coding & SmartPhrase Write-Back

What Is Epic EHR?

Epic Systems is the leading EHR for U.S. hospitals and health systems, with expanding ambulatory and specialty footprints. Day-to-day clinicians know Hyperspace: the charting environment for progress notes, H&Ps, consults, discharge summaries, SmartPhrases, and the templates that keep documentation consistent across departments.

That depth is powerful for care coordination and compliance. It also means documentation volume is high. An AI medical scribe that only produces a draft outside Epic still leaves clinicians copying text into note fields, fixing formatting, and hunting for codes after hours.

How Augustun Integrates With Epic

The Augustun + Epic integration uses a browser extension, not a mandatory multi-year App Orchard engagement before a single clinician can try ambient documentation. Install it, open Hyperspace as usual, and Augustun drafts notes that write back via SmartPhrases and dot-phrases.

1. 1Install alongside Epic. Add the Augustun browser extension, sign in, and open your Hyperspace session.
2. 2Record the encounter. Capture in-person or telehealth visits in the background. Audio is processed and discarded; recordings are never stored.
3. 3One-click write-back. After you review the draft, the completed note plus ICD-10 and CPT suggestions land in the Epic chart workflow via SmartPhrases and dot-phrases.

Individual clinicians and departments can start without waiting for enterprise procurement to finish. Health systems that later want deeper IT alignment can still evaluate Augustun on real visit workflows first.

What You Get With Augustun Inside Epic

Who Benefits Most From Augustun + Epic

• Ambulatory Epic clinics with high visit volume and after-hours charting
• Hospitalists and specialists documenting progress notes, consults, and discharge summaries
• Academic medical centers where residents and attendings need faster, consistent chart closure
• Multi-hospital systems standardizing documentation quality without replacing Epic
• Hybrid in-person and telehealth schedules where notes must land in the same Epic chart

A Typical Visit: From Conversation to Epic Chart

1. 1Open the patient chart in Hyperspace and start ambient capture before or as the visit begins.
2. 2Talk naturally. You do not need to dictate headings like Subjective or Objective during the encounter.
3. 3Review the specialty-aware draft: chief complaint, history, exam, assessment, plan, and patient instructions as applicable.
4. 4Confirm or adjust ICD-10 and CPT suggestions using transcript-linked rationale.
5. 5One-click push into Epic via SmartPhrases / dot-phrases. Move to the next patient.

The point is not a prettier transcript sitting in another tab. The point is a chart-ready, coded note inside Epic before the next patient walks in.

Security and Compliance on the Epic Path

Health systems cannot afford a compliance gap. Augustun is HIPAA and GDPR compliant. Session recordings are processed and discarded. They are not stored and not reused to train AI models. PHI stays inside your account boundary.

• No recording library living outside your Epic tenancy
• No training on patient conversations
• Browser-extension delivery that meets clinicians where they already authenticate
• Same compliance posture for clinic and telehealth visits

The Bottom Line

Epic is the chart of record for millions of clinicians. Augustun makes sure documentation keeps pace: ambient capture during the visit, specialty-aware drafts, billing-ready codes, and write-back into the Hyperspace workflow you already use — without unpaid overtime and without waiting years for an integration project.
