Oracle Health has released a new cloud-based EHR (electronic health record) platform called Oracle Health EHR. Built from the ground up with integrated artificial intelligence and voice-first functionality, it is intended to streamline documentation, improve access to information, and support more efficient patient care.
The new platform is developed on Oracle’s OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) platform. By embedding AI functions directly into workflows rather than adding them as separate modules, the system is designed to reduce repetitive data entry, support faster navigation, and provide clinicians with real-time, context-specific insights during patient encounters.
Some of its key capabilities include:
- AI-driven clinical assistance – Generates visit summaries contextualized to the patient, specialty, and care setting, enabling quicker chart reviews and more focused decision-making.
- Voice-first operation – Allows clinicians to request information such as recent laboratory results or current medications through voice commands, reducing time spent navigating multiple screens.
- Scalability and security – Operates as a cloud service with regular feature and compliance updates, supported by security measures that align with enterprise and government-grade standards.
- Open architecture and customizable workflows – Uses AI to adapt to clinician preferences and improve task efficiency over time. And supports integration of third-party AI models and custom-built agents, giving flexibility in extending the platform’s capabilities.
The platform is initially available to ambulatory care providers in the United States, with planned expansion to acute care settings expected in 2026.
Existing EHR systems often involve complex navigation, fragmented workflows, and administrative burdens. As the industry shifts toward integrating AI tools directly into the point of care, systems like Oracle’s Health EHR are emerging and evolving to better address these ongoing challenges.
