Oracle Launches AI-Powered Clinical Digital Assistant for US Ambulatory Clinics

Oracle’s
New
AI-Powered
Solution
for
Ambulatory
Clinics

Oracle
has
announced
the
general
availability
of
its
Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant,
a
cutting-edge
solution
designed
for
ambulatory
clinics
in
the
US.
The
new
offering
integrates
generative
AI,
clinical
intelligence,
multimodal
voice,
and
screen-driven
assistance
to
streamline
workflows
and
reduce
electronic
health
record
(EHR)
clicks,
allowing
healthcare
providers
to
focus
more
on
patient
care.

Transformative
Features
and
Benefits

The
Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant
is
integrated
with
the
Oracle
Health
Electronic
Health
Record
(EHR)
system,
combining
clinical
automation,
conversation-based
note
generation,
and
clinical
follow-up
proposals
directly
at
the
point
of
care.
This
innovation
eliminates
the
need
for
providers
to
navigate
through
complex
interfaces
during
patient
appointments.
Instead,
healthcare
professionals
can
access
crucial
patient
information,
such
as
recent
blood
test
results,
through
voice
commands.

During
appointments,
the
assistant
captures
comprehensive
notes
using
the
provider’s
preferred
templates
in
the
patient’s
EHR
record,
significantly
saving
time.
Unlike
other
solutions,
Oracle’s
assistant
generates
notes
in
minutes
rather
than
hours
and
supports
next-step
actions,
including
drafting
referrals,
prescription
orders,
and
scheduling
follow-up
labs
and
appointments.
This
enhances
the
accuracy
of
medical
records
and
workflow
efficiency.

Real-World
Impact

Early
adopters
of
the
Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant,
including
Billings
Clinic,
Covenant
Health,
Hudson
Physicians,
St.
John’s
Health,
and
T.J.
Regional
Health,
have
reported
substantial
time
savings.
Physicians
at
these
organizations
have
saved
an
average
of
more
than
four
and
a
half
minutes
per
patient
and
20-40%
in
daily
documentation
time.

Dr.
James
Little,
a
primary
care
physician
at
St.
John’s
Health,
stated,
“Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant
is
the
most
important
EHR
technology
update
that
I
am
going
to
see
in
my
career.
Since
the
1990s,
EHRs
have
turned
physicians
into
keyboard
junkies.
This
will
change
that.”

Dr.
Ryan
McFarland,
a
family
medicine
practitioner
at
Hudson
Physicians,
added,
“Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant
has
been
a
game-changer.
I
can
simply
talk
to
and
focus
on
my
patients,
while
in
the
background,
the
system
captures
all
the
details,
notes,
and
next-step
actions.
This
leads
to
a
better
experience
for
me
and
my
patients
and
has
significantly
diminished
the
time
I
take
post-appointments
or
after-hours
updating
notes.”

Addressing
Physician
Burnout

The
Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant
aims
to
tackle
the
issue
of
physician
burnout
by
automating
documentation
processes
and
synchronizing
them
back
to
the
patient’s
medical
record
without
copying
and
pasting.
Providers
review,
modify,
and
approve
the
notes
and
next
steps
on
their
computer
or
mobile
device,
ensuring
oversight
and
control.

Seema
Verma,
Executive
Vice
President
and
General
Manager
of
Oracle
Health
and
Life
Sciences,
commented,
“Practitioners
spend
upwards
of
20-35%
of
their
time
on
administrative
work.
This
isn’t
sustainable
and
contributes
to
burnout.
We
need
our
providers
focused
on
patient
needs.
Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant’s
groundbreaking
AI
technology
solves
this
problem
and
brings
the
joy
back
to
the
practice
of
medicine
and
healthcare.”

Positive
Feedback
from
Practitioners

Dr.
Alicia
Brooks,
Medical
Director
at
Fort
Loudoun
Primary
Care,
Covenant
Health,
shared,
“What
I
appreciate
most
about
Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant
is
the
ability
to
regain
eye
contact
and
calmly
pay
attention
to
what
the
patient
is
really
telling
me.
This
is
much
more
satisfying
to
me
and
the
patient.”

Patricia
Doolin,
APRN
at
T.J.
Regional
Health,
noted,
“Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant
is
saving
me
a
lot
of
time,
up
to
10-12
minutes
per
patient.
The
notes
are
more
accurate,
I
get
to
see
more
patients,
and
I
get
more
sleep
at
night!”

Dr.
Marjorie
Albers,
MD
at
Billings
Clinic,
added,
“I
love
Oracle
Clinical
Digital
Assistant!
It’s
so
cool
and
so
smart.
It’s
letting
me
see
more
patients,
and
I’m
getting
out
an
hour
earlier.
I
only
spend
a
minute
or
two
editing
the
note.”
