(MFT's branding of Epic's MyChart Patient Experience Platform). In one specialty, 98% of surveyed patients said that they would recommend using MyMFT for self-scheduling.Seeing patients more quickly with FastPass: The Oy Apotti Ab (Helsinki, Finland) shared their experience with Epic's FastPass technology. When an appointment is cancelled, FastPass automatically finds waiting list patients who are a good match. It then offers the appointment to the patient directly—without the need for manual staff intervention. At Apotti, patients scheduled via FastPass can be seen an average of 20 days sooner than their original appointment times.Breaking ground with artificial intelligence to create better experiences for clinicians and patients: In May, Elisabeth-TweeSteden Ziekenhuis (Tilburg, Netherlands) and Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen (Groningen, Netherlands) became two of the first organisations in the world to deploy Epic's AI-enabled Patient Summaries. This technology rapidly distills years' worth of clinical notes into a brief summary that clinicians can review, significantly reducing the amount of time needed to prepare for a high-quality patient visit.

"This conference highlighted the value in working together at a global level, on a shared technological platform, to provide exemplary patient experiences while improving clinician wellbeing," said Pippa Kassam, Chief Nursing Officer at Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (Exeter, UK). "It was particularly special and exciting being part of the first-ever EGM. The event was organised with such precision and thought for Epic's Europe-based customers."

EGM will be held annually to bring together providers, technology experts, and industry leaders in advancing healthcare in Europe and around the world.
