OCHIN

What OCHIN does

OCHIN, Inc. is a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit health care innovation center founded in 2000 that functions as a national consultancy for rural and community health providers. It operates the OCHIN Epic electronic health record (EHR) platform — a cloud-based, ambulatory and acute care system built on Epic's infrastructure and customized for FQHCs, critical access hospitals, rural health clinics, tribal health organizations, school-based clinics, and behavioral health and public health providers. The platform supports health information exchange, TEFCA and Carequality connectivity, telehealth, social risk screening, and eConsult capabilities, and has held Epic Gold Stars Level 10 designation for eight consecutive years.

OCHIN bundles the EHR with adjacent solutions: OCHIN+ workforce development and clinical practice coaching, a Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) consultancy, billing and revenue cycle management, credentialing, cybersecurity and disaster recovery, regulatory compliance, and quality improvement services. It also operates the PCORI-funded ADVANCE Clinical Research Network, producing 465+ peer-reviewed publications, and runs the affiliated California Telehealth Resource Center (CTRC). The network supports 44,000+ providers at 2,200+ care delivery sites across 42 states, serving 8.1 million+ patients.

Commercially, OCHIN monetizes through subscription-like multi-year EHR contracts tied to provider and site counts, professional services fees for billing/RCM and operational consulting, no-cost HCCN programming funded in part by federal grants, and government grant funding (HRSA, NIH, PCORI, congressional appropriations) for workforce and research initiatives. Distribution is primarily direct and consultative to mid-market community health organizations, augmented by channel partnerships such as the March 2026 Medicare ACO alliance with Community Care Cooperative (C3).

Direct peers

• Athenahealth: Cloud-based EHR and revenue cycle platform serving ambulatory practices, FQHCs, and community health organizations. Directly competes with OCHIN Epic for ambulatory contracts in the same customer base.
• Greenway Health: Ambulatory EHR and practice management solution serving physician practices and community health providers. Comparable customer profile and cloud-delivery model to OCHIN's ambulatory offering.
• NextGen Healthcare: Ambulatory-focused EHR and practice management platform with strong penetration among community health centers and physician practices. Closely comparable target market and delivery model to OCHIN.
• eClinicalWorks: One of the largest ambulatory EHR vendors in the US, with significant FQHC and community health center market share. Competes head-to-head with OCHIN in the same ambulatory EHR category.

Broad incumbents

• Oracle Health (Cerner): Large-scale EHR and health IT vendor offering both acute and ambulatory solutions. Competes for the same hospital and large-clinic customers as OCHIN, though typically focused on larger IDNs than OCHIN's rural/community base.
• MEDITECH: Established acute and ambulatory EHR vendor with significant community and rural hospital footprint. Competes with OCHIN Epic for Acute Care in smaller hospital settings.
• Epic Systems: The underlying technology partner and dominant inpatient/ambulatory EHR vendor. While OCHIN resells Epic, Epic itself increasingly sells directly to large health systems, including community health and rural hospitals, making it both an enabler and competitive incumbent.

Emerging players

• Arcadia: Healthcare data and analytics platform serving community health providers, payers, and ACOs. Competes with OCHIN's data, analytics, and value-based care capabilities at the population health layer.
• Azara Healthcare: Population health management and value-based care analytics platform purpose-built for FQHCs and community health centers. Overlaps with OCHIN's HCCN, ACO enablement, and population health offerings.

Others

• Health Gorilla: Health information exchange and interoperability network operating across TEFCA and Carequality frameworks. Direct interoperability overlap with OCHIN's HIE strategy, and now an adverse party in OCHIN's collective legal action.
