Oracle Health Goes Beyond Visit Summaries with Its Use of AI in Their EHR

Many companies are jumping on the AI bandwagon to offer services ranging from risk stratification to auto-generation of patient notes after a visit. Oracle Health wants to move further. In this video at the Oracle Health conference, Senior Vice President of Product Management, Suhas Uliyar describes how Oracle Health is creating tools that accompany and augment the workflow of physicians, nurses, and patients.

Uliyar addresses the commonly noted problem of burnout among clinicians, and says that Oracle Health wants to speed up administrative work so they can talk more to patients.

During a patient visit, where other tools can passively record a conversation, Oracle Health can participate actively. A physician can verbally ask Oracle Health, for instance to pull up an X-ray.

Oracle Health has a multi-modal interface: It support voice, keyboard input, and other common ways of interacting with the computer. It gets rid of the “forty clicks” normally needed to get access to important patient information. It can also alert a physician to a trend, such as increasing A1C in a patient with diabetes.

After a visit, in addition to generating a summary, Oracle Health can help with follow-up tasks such as ordering medication and scheduling a follow-up call.

Watch the video to see what Oracle Health is doing and the challenges it faces as it tries to support multiple languages and serve an international market.
