On Tuesday, October 29th, Eastern Time, Oracle announced the launch of a new generation of electronic health record system EHR with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, hailed as the most significant product upgrade since the company's $28 billion acquisition of healthcare IT company Cerner in 2022.

Oracle introduced that EHR, short for Electronic Health Record, is a digital version of a patient's medical history updated over time by doctors and nurses. While EHR software may be complex and cumbersome for clinical physicians, it has become an indispensable part of the modern U.S. healthcare system.

The latest EHR from Oracle incorporates the latest cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to provide users with a more natural, intuitive, and faster experience. For example, the intuitive design of EHR combines conversational search, voice navigation, and multimodal search, making it a natural extension of the clinical physician's workflow.

Therefore, the new generation EHR will make navigation and configuration more convenient. The new version of EHR eliminates menus and drop-down screens, allowing doctors to obtain the necessary information by voice queries. Oracle stated that ideally, this will enable doctors to spend less time searching records and more time caring for patients.

Oracle mentioned that the new EHR is designed to integrate Oracle's clinical AI agent, Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent, which significantly reduces time spent on documentation, ordering, and automated coding. It will also embed Oracle's AI and analytics solution, Oracle Health Data Intelligence, which can securely integrate real-time insights from patient data from thousands of sources, including clinical, claims, social determinants, and pharmacy data, to facilitate the promotion of patient health.

Combining Oracle Health Data Intelligence with the new generation EHR can propose personalized care plans tailored to each patient's genetic makeup and lifestyle, helping to reduce trial and error in treatment, increase patient engagement, and support patients in becoming healthier after recovery.

Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Health and Life Sciences at Oracle, likened the new generation EHR to this: "It is not just a scribe, nor an assistant. It is almost like your resident physician."
