GRAND RAPIDS, MI – July 15, 2026 – AvaSure, the leading virtual care and smart room platform for hospitals, today announced that its virtual care platform has received an Epic Toolbox designation for 2026 in the Inpatient Virtual Care category. The designation recognizes that AvaSure meets Epic’s recommended practices for integration and functionality, enabling clinical workflows to leverage virtual care capabilities when and where care happens for patients.

As health systems invest in smart hospital room strategies, the challenge is no longer deploying individual technologies – it’s connecting them into a unified clinical experience. AvaSure serves as the platform layer that brings virtual care, AI applications, patient engagement technologies, and the EHR together on a single platform. By providing shared access to in-room audio, video, and clinical workflows, AvaSure enables health systems to adopt new innovations over time while protecting existing technology investments. AvaSure’s open architecture creates compounding value as the smart room ecosystem grows — every new AI partner that integrates with the platform makes it more capable for every connected health system, backed by a roadmap shaped by real-world clinical needs.

Built to align with Epic’s recommended practices for Embedded Context-Aware Linking (ECAL) and Context-Aware Linking (CAL), AvaSure enables seamless virtual care experience directly within Epic workflows, including:

  • Virtual Visits: Launch virtual visits directly from Epic user interfaces, allowing clinicians to connect with patients and care team members without leaving Epic.
  • Continuous Observation with Epic Monitor: Combine AvaSure’s clinical-grade virtual care infrastructure with Epic Monitor Remote Sitter capabilities to support centralized patient observation and rapid response for fall prevention, patient safety, staff duress, and other clinical workflows.
  • MyChart Bedside TV: Extend virtual care to the patient room TV through an embedded MyChart Bedside TV experience, making it easier for patients to connect with caregivers and care services.

Receiving the 2026 Toolbox designation reflects AvaSure’s ongoing commitment to delivering integrated virtual care experiences that fit naturally into clinician workflows. What sets AvaSure apart is a true secure and open architecture — the ability to integrate not only with Epic, but with a wide range of third-party systems, devices, and applications. This flexibility allows hospitals to design smart room workflows tailored to their unique needs, maximize existing technology investments, and drive innovation across the enterprise.

“Every technology investment in healthcare must deliver measurable value,” said Adam McMullin, CEO of AvaSure. “AvaSure has helped health systems reduce the cost of care by more than $826 million through virtual care programs that improve operational efficiency, workforce sustainability, and patient safety. Receiving Epic Toolbox designation for 2026 further strengthens our ability to deliver those outcomes through seamless integration with the workflows clinicians rely on every day, helping health systems maximize and protect the investments they have already made in Epic.”
Adam McMullin, CEO of AvaSure
