Oracle Health is providing electronic health record (EHR) innovations that will help clinicians streamline routine tasks and deliver more efficient, informed patient care.
According to Oracle, with the new capabilities, caregivers can more quickly and easily update and access critical patient information from practically anywhere to help increase efficiency and reduce burden.
“Since the Cerner acquisition, Oracle has invested tens of thousands of engineering hours and millions of dollars to enhance our core clinical applications and improve the performance, usability, and security of our EHR,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “We are committed to making our EHR the most functional and user-friendly in the market. To enable the future of healthcare, we need to build for tomorrow, not simply bolt on features to platforms designed for the past. We continue to deliver the new solutions our customers need and can easily adopt today while simultaneously building our next generation Oracle Health EHR platform, leveraging the performance, security, and embedded AI capabilities of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.”
Oracle continues to listen to and work closely with customers to deliver the updates and innovations they need to quickly and reliably get the information necessary to make timely and informed clinical decisions.
With the enhancements, practitioners can improve productivity while elevating the standard of care delivery with:
- Streamlined chart reviews to quickly surface critical patient information.
- Advanced documentation tools that support updates and consultations on the go.
- New medication processes that help identify errors to increase safety.
- Updated order management capabilities with closed-loop tracking.
- Enhanced mobile charting capabilities that enable clinicians to update patient details in near real-time from practically anywhere.
- Expanded capabilities in Oracle Health Provider Portal that enable Oracle Health Ambulatory Referral Management users to easily view and track patient referrals—helping decrease the time from referral creation to an appointment being scheduled to support better care for patients.
New updates and innovations are set to be rolled out on a predictable and aligned quarterly cadence across Oracle Health products, enabling healthcare organizations to continually enhance their processes and deliver new innovations to patients and staff.
Oracle Health also continues to advance how customers easily access, manage, and utilize interoperability with other healthcare organizations.
With Oracle Health Seamless Exchange, practitioners can get a more complete view of a patient across the care continuum by safely accessing data from outside health organizations through national networks and bringing the data into the patient’s existing chart.
Plus, secure, authorized sources can write directly into the local record to produce a single, longitudinal record for every patient. Seamless Exchange is a huge improvement to the usability of outside records, but Oracle is also pushing the envelope on making the data more available, open, and secure through the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). In a transition from legacy approaches toward TEFCA, Oracle will continue to lead the industry in driving down the cost and improving usability of information for patients and providers.
Helping ambulatory clinics reduce physician burnout, Oracle introduced Oracle Clinical Digital Assistant. The mobile offering combines generative AI, clinical intelligence, and a multimodal voice and touch-based interface into a single unified solution that enables physicians to focus on patients, not computer screens.
Over the past year, Oracle Health has implemented several hundred performance and scalability enhancements to help clinicians access critical information and complete tasks faster. These improvements have optimized key workflows, including patient search, printing, document scanning, medical record requests, registration, and appointment scheduling across the EHR solutions.
