Health data should be as global, accessible as credit cards: Ellison
When you travel to another country, your credit card purchases are processed in seconds, but what if you need to go to the hospital? How will doctors there know your medical history? “But there’s no system that keeps track of our medical records that anyone can immediately find in an emergency. We have to unify all of that healthcare data,” said Oracle Chairman and CTO Larry Ellison at the recent Oracle Health Summit in Nashville.
Ellison was on hand to help unveil Oracle’s next-gen electronic health record system, or EHR, which features the latest cloud and AI capabilities. In a fireside chat with Sir John Bell, president of the Ellison Institute of Technology’s Oxford facility, Ellison said that EHR software should go beyond recordkeeping and work in unison with other key medical data. So that in the future, doctors could more easily locate other patients with similar genetic predispositions and find drug treatments that could work or search medical journal libraries for treatments suited to their patient’s profile.
Oracle’s new electronic health record (EHR), with embedded AI and military-grade security, will automate processes and simplify information exchange among providers, patients, and payers when launched in 2025.
