Oracle unveiled its new AI-driven electronic health record (EHR) system, built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), at the Oracle Health Summit. This EHR aims to simplify and streamline healthcare workflows, offering automation, insights, and AI integration to improve clinician efficiency and patient care. An electronic health record, or an EHR, is a digital version of a patient's medical history that's updated by doctors and nurses over time.

Oracle's AI-Driven EHR
"The EHR is designed to embed AI across the entire clinical workflow to automate processes, deliver insights at the point of care, and dramatically simplify appointment prep, documentation, and follow-up for physicians and staff," Oracle said in a statement on Tuesday.
With integrations across Oracle Health applications, Oracle said the EHR is also designed to streamline information exchange between payers and providers, support patient recruitment for clinical trials, simplify regulatory compliance, optimise financial performance, and help accelerate the adoption of value-based care.
According to Oracle, the new EHR will feature the latest cloud and AI capabilities and offer a more natural, intuitive, and responsive experience for all users. Powered by AI, the new EHR is designed to deliver the intelligence health networks need to close care gaps and be more effective and efficient.

Advanced Features
Oracle's AI-powered EHR incorporates voice navigation, conversational search, and role-based data organisation, allowing healthcare providers to access critical patient information such as recent vitals, medications, notes and labs quickly. AI-driven summaries further expedite chart reviews and treatment planning, while Oracle Health Command Center integration supports efficient resource allocation and patient throughput across facilities, the company noted.
Oracle noted that these are just a few of the innovations customers can expect from the completely reimagined Oracle Health EHR.
"One of today's most important and widely used healthcare technologies, the EHR, has not lived up to its promise," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager at Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "Oracle Health's next-generation EHR is not just a scribe or an assistant. It's the doctor's best resident, the administrator's most productive analyst, and the payer's most efficient partner in reviewing and authorising treatment and payment."

Oracle Health AI-Based EHR
According to Oracle, the new EHR also includes Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent and Data Intelligence tools, which integrate patient data from thousands of sources to deliver personalised care plans and reduce treatment trial-and-error. By automating tasks like documentation and coding, this new EHR allows clinicians to focus more on patient care.
The early adopter program for the next-generation Oracle Health EHR will begin in 2025.
