Epic Sepsis Model vs PaceMate
PaceMate states ISO/IEC 27001:2022, HITRUST r2, SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3, with HIPAA and a BAA available, and shows bi-directional links to Epic and Oracle Health plus an athenahealth FHIR API. A device clinic running cardiac implant follow-up is the buyer, and its Auto-Triage ranks alerts by clinical priority. The vendor claims 39 peer-reviewed studies and a 61 percent cut in physician alert burden, and its case study of 270 hours saved gives no method. openFDA shows no PaceMate record. Four tiers, Software, Flexible, Premium and Elite, carry no amounts.
Epic hospitals receive the Epic Sepsis Model as part of Epic's licensed EHR, with no public price, as version 1 (a logistic regression) or version 2 (gradient-boosted trees). It addresses sepsis onset in hospital patients, so it reaches a different clinical team than a device clinic's alert queue.
