Irvine, Calif.-based Pacific Dental Services plans to roll out Epic at its supported dental practices.

Here are five details:

1. PDS-supported dentists and specialists will be able to coordinate care with other clinicians to close care gaps and reduce duplication.

2. Epic is designed to allow dentists and practices to more easily exchange data for improved continuity of care across the country.

5. PDS supports over 650 affiliated dental offices across the U.S.
