Cuts time to access critical patient
information in half and significantly reduces time spent on
administrative tasks
AUSTIN,
Texas, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- King's
College Hospital London, in Dubai (KCH Dubai), has become one of the first
UAE-based health systems to migrate its Oracle Health Electronic
Health Record (EHR) to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). With OCI,
KCH Dubai is
improving the security, performance, and usability of the EHR
resulting in a better experience for its patients and providers.
KCH Dubai is now
providing more than 1,000 concurrent users across its facilities
with access to more efficient workflows and improved system
performance. Moving to the cloud has also provided the hospital
network with the scalable foundation it needs to simplify
integrations and meet its goal of innovating in critical areas such
as population health.
Following its rapid migration to OCI, KCH Dubai is seeing positive results across
the hospital including cutting the time it takes to access patient
information by 50%, a 20% reduction in reviewing each patient's
medical chart, and a 25% overall reduction in time spent in the EHR
due to faster screen loads and transaction response times. The
overall increased speed and responsiveness of the system is helping
to streamline processes so clinicians can complete tasks more
quickly and free up more time to spend with patients. The
performance gains also enable more comprehensive and real-time
updates to the patient record, which strengthens communication and
care coordination across all caregivers to enhance patient
care.
"With Oracle Health, we've seen substantial improvements in our
clinical processes, including an increase in the system's speed and
responsiveness and a noticeable deduction in the time spent
reviewing patient charts across various specialties," said
Kimberly Pierce, chief executive
officer, KCH Dubai.
"Oracle's cloud offering has the technological infrastructure we
need to fully embrace future advancements in areas such as
generative AI that will benefit our patients and how we deliver
care while better supporting our practitioners."
With OCI, KCH Dubai can also now rely on Oracle's
real-time threat detection and monitoring, autonomous systems, and
team of experts to help protect its networks against the constantly
changing cybercrime landscape. In addition, OCI will support
scalability of healthcare technology as KCH Dubai expands with new facilities and
specialties, ultimately growing its overall operation and capacity
to care for its community.
"The combined power of OCI and our EHR is enabling KCH
Dubai physicians to
be more productive, waste less time in medical records, and refocus
more time on patient care," said Seema
Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle
Health and Life Sciences. "Moreover, they have the comprehensive
platform to continually be able to plug-in the technologies they
need to solve their toughest challenges and be more adaptable,
predictive, and responsive to evolving healthcare needs."
