A solution that interfaces with Electronic Health Records to provide real-time automated notifications between providers, patients, and family members. Currently available in EPIC App Orchard but is customizable to other EHR systems, as needed.
How it works

2. Once a patient’s record is opened, simply click the afas icon 
to launch.
3. afas application auto-populates and displays all current patient, provider and designated Emergency Contact information to the User.
4. Information is easily customizable and can be changed by the Provider, as needed, before pressing the SUBMIT button.
