New capabilities prioritize safety, enhance
information access, and help reduce the time it takes to do common
tasks so clinicians can alleviate burnout and elevate patient
care
AUSTIN,
Texas, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
Health continues to deliver electronic health record (EHR)
innovations that help clinicians streamline routine tasks and
deliver more efficient, informed patient care. 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."
Enhancing the EHR
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.
Connecting data to support better patient care
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. Users are seeing up to 99% of redundant data being
deduplicated and filtered. 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.
Innovating with AI and automation
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. Integrated with the
Oracle Health EHR, the solution transforms the care delivery
experience by automating draft note generation from
physician-patient conversations. Early users say they have saved on
average more than four and a half minutes per patient and 20-40% in
documentation time each day.

Advancing security and performance
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.
In addition to the clinical enhancements, Oracle launched the
Autonomous Shield initiative earlier this year to create a
safer, more secure healthcare ecosystem in light of the increasing
frequency and severity of cyberattacks. As part of this investment,
Oracle has helped more than 1,000 Oracle Health EHR
customers strengthen their defenses by migrating to Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). In tandem, these customers also
saw significant performance gains. For example, King's College
London in Dubai cut
the time it takes to access patient information in the EHR by 50%
and a reported 25% overall reduction in time spent in the EHR due
to faster screen loads and transaction response times. With OCI,
EHR customers automatically get updates to help support a
constantly changing cyber-terror landscape. Autonomous Shield
enables healthcare organizations to rely on Oracle's real-time
threat detection and monitoring, autonomous systems, and team of
experts to help keep their networks safe. To bring these advantages
to all its EHR customers, Oracle is offering the migration to OCI
at no additional cost.
