The #1 Epic Consulting Firm
for Epic AI.
Boutique Epic staffing firm. Former Epic, Nordic & Bluetree founders. Top-tier consultants helping health systems implement and optimize Epic's full AI suite.
What Is
Epic AI?
Epic AI is a suite of artificial intelligence capabilities built directly into the Epic EHR. It spans clinical documentation, patient engagement, revenue cycle management, predictive analytics, and now agentic AI — where autonomous agents handle complex workflows end to end.
Over 85% of Epic customers are actively using Epic AI today, and Epic is working on more than 160 AI projects across its platform.
But turning on features is not the same as getting value from them. That's where Anura Connect comes in. Founded by former Epic, Bluetree, and Nordic leaders, we are the boutique Epic consulting firm that helps health systems move from AI activation to AI impact — with the right consultants, the right workflows, and the right rollout strategy.
