Summary: OpenAI added an Epic EHR integration and a Healthcare Public Data plugin for ChatGPT for Healthcare, connecting official sources including PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, DailyMed and CMS Coverage inside a governed workspace.
Why it matters: This turns context engineering into a permissioned product capability with source identity and provenance. In a high-stakes domain, grounded context improves reliability but does not remove the need for clinician review, local validation and organizational controls.
Original commentary: Use this as a knowledge-worker grounding pattern: define trusted source classes, preserve provenance, limit access by role and require humans to validate consequential conclusions against source records.
