Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services, today announced an expanded collaboration with Epic, the nation's leading electronic health record (EHR) supporting hospitals and health systems. Through the collaboration, Labcorp's full test menu will be available through Aura, Epic's unified platform for ordering and receiving lab results. The integration will drive meaningful operational efficiencies, streamline lab ordering for clinicians and care teams, and improve access to diagnostic innovation for hospitals and health systems using Epic nationwide.

Reducing Complexity and Expanding Access to Testing and Diagnostic Innovation

Health systems often face lengthy, complex and time-consuming IT projects to integrate with laboratory partners. By leveraging Epic's Aura, the expansion will reduce the time, cost and ongoing maintenance typically required for lab interfaces. Building on the availability of Invitae genetic tests through Aura, part of Labcorp's diagnostic portfolio, health systems will be able to access Labcorp's full test menu and new tests as they are introduced directly within their existing Epic workflows.

"This expanded collaboration reflects how Labcorp is investing to meet the evolving needs of hospitals and health systems," said Bryan Vaughn, Executive Vice President and President of Diagnostics at Labcorp. "By simplifying lab integrations and delivering our full test menu directly within Epic workflows, we are expanding access and building a strong foundation for continued innovation."

Benefits for Clinicians and Health Systems

The expanded integration will deliver meaningful benefits including:

- Simplified onboarding and maintenance – Aura's connectivity and content‑management capabilities reduce the effort required to onboard and maintain Labcorp's test menu, reducing integration complexity for hospitals and health systems.

- Seamless access within Epic workflows – Clinicians will be able to order Labcorp tests and receive discrete results directly within their Epic workflow, improving efficiency and reducing reliance on manual processes or workarounds.

- Broader access to Labcorp's full and evolving test menu, including new and advanced diagnostics.

"Expanding Labcorp's use of Aura to include its full test menu makes it easy for clinicians to order the right test the first time, right from their workflow, so patients get accurate answers faster," said Sumit Rana, President of Epic.
