Reducing Physician Burnout
Integrated with Oracle's electronic health record (EHR), the Clinical AI Agent is designed to provide highly accurate draft notes in multiple languages in just minutes. It also proposes clinical follow-ups, such as lab tests, and referrals for the provider to review and approve, and synchronises all the information back to patients' individual medical records, the company said.
The Clinical AI agent also automates coding by extracting relevant data from patient notes, enhancing accuracy and compliance. Additionally, it generates condition-specific medication histories and discharge summaries, offering rapid insights for clinical decision-making.
"Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent exemplifies the ability of Oracle AI to overcome longstanding industry challenges," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager at Oracle Health and Life Sciences.
