A redesigned patient experience drives engagement from prevention through survivorship, while chart-aware risk intelligence surfaces guideline-based recommendations in EHR workflows

CHICAGO, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CancerIQ, the precision health platform used by more than 60 health systems across 275 clinic locations, today announced two major updates to its Epic integrations that better support the full patient journey from prevention through survivorship. A redesigned patient experience and expanded provider application help health systems identify patients eligible for cancer screening and testing, engage them in recommended care and guide them through surveillance and follow-up over time.

The new provider experience uses embedded clinical guidelines to identify who is eligible for hereditary risk assessment, genetic testing and biomarker testing, along with the minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring and multi-cancer early detection (MCED) programs a health system offers, without leaving established Epic workflows. CancerIQ then engages eligible patients directly and keeps those patients moving through testing, surveillance, and follow-up over time.

"As CancerIQ has expanded to support more of the patient journey, bringing those capabilities directly into Epic was the natural next step," said Feyi Ayodele, co-founder and CEO, CancerIQ. "Care teams shouldn't have to leave Epic to do their best work, and patients should have a clear understanding of their risk, recommended next steps and what comes after. These updates bring providers and patients together, helping everyone stay a step ahead of cancer."

Built on the FHIR R4 standard, the updated provider integration expands the clinical data CancerIQ can draw directly from Epic and consolidates key workflows into a unified EHR experience. The chart-aware risk assessment incorporates information captured through check-in, intake, screening and genomics, allowing CancerIQ to prepopulate assessments with information the health system already has. Patients simply review, confirm or add missing details rather than re-entering their history.

CancerIQ users can import a wide set of information directly from the chart, including:

• Family cancer history
• Personal history and conditions
• Breast density and prior biopsies
• Genetic and other lab results
• Medication history

The updated provider integration also enables providers to complete core CancerIQ workflows without leaving Epic, including:

• Review and refine family history and pedigree data
• Review guideline-based screening and testing eligibility
• Initiate supported tests through existing ordering workflows
• Generate personalized, guideline-based care plans, including screening intervals, testing options, referrals and follow-up timing
• Review, upload, and download results and documents
• Surface recommended surveillance and follow-up, so the right next step is scheduled and tracked

"We adopted the Genomics module to capture genomic data in structured fields and bring ordering into our existing EHR workflows. CancerIQ complements that foundation with the clinical guidance we need to identify the right patients, understand what they're eligible for and make sure the appropriate next steps happen. With this latest integration, those capabilities work together even more seamlessly, making it easier for our team to put genomic information into action without leaving Epic," said Michelle Settlemeyer, OSF HealthCare.

CancerIQ's redesigned patient experience, delivered through Risk Hub, uses information already available in the patient's Epic record to reduce manual effort and streamline personalized education and next-step guidance. It can be deployed on its own or alongside CancerIQ's provider application, giving health systems flexible options for engagement.

Patients can securely connect through their patient portal and authorize CancerIQ to access supported information from their health record to pre-fill portions of their assessment, then review, confirm or add details before submitting. From there, CancerIQ helps patients understand their individual cancer risk, learn why a specific screening or diagnostic test may be relevant to them, review personalized options and recommended next steps, and stay engaged throughout testing, surveillance and follow-up.

Together, the integrated provider workflows and redesigned patient experience create a connected precision health platform supporting patients and care teams from prevention through treatment and survivorship within the EHR.

The upgraded integrations are available to all customers, allowing them to maximize their investments in both Epic and CancerIQ. They can be found in Connection Hub on Epic Showroom.
