Complementary and integrated cloud
applications streamline patient access to their medical records,
empower them to actively manage their healthcare with self-service
tools, reduce administrative burden for staff
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Health Summit
-- Today Oracle announced two new cloud applications, built
from the ground up, that make it easier for consumers to manage
their healthcare and for front desk staff to support them. Easily
accessed through the consumer-grade Oracle Health app, Oracle
Health Patient Portal is an intuitive solution that enables
patients to securely review and share their health information,
easily connect with providers, and conveniently manage their own
care. Oracle Health Patient Administration is a modern front-office
solution that simplifies patient intake, registration, scheduling,
and appointment confirmation with easy-to-use tools for
administrative staff and the patients they serve.
"The tools we use to manage our healthcare should be as simple
and straightforward as the apps we use to order food, watch a
movie, or book a flight," said Seema
Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle
Health and Life Sciences. "With these new cloud applications,
Oracle Health is not only giving patients more control over their
healthcare, but also significantly reducing time-consuming
administrative tasks for caregivers and support staff."
Powered and secured by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle
Health Patient Portal and Oracle Health Patient Administration work
together to support patients as they navigate their care path.
A personalized patient experience
Oracle Health Patient Portal helps patients stay up-to-date and
remain more engaged and in control of their care. It provides a
single, convenient app that offers a comprehensive range of
self-service tools that enable patients to take actions to support
their health and wellness goals such as:
- Scheduling appointments and completing pre-appointment
registration.
- Viewing physician's notes, medication lists, and test
results.
- Managing appointment reminders and notifications.
"As an early adopter of the new Oracle Health Patient Portal, we
have encountered several transformative capabilities that we
believe will significantly enhance an organization's ability to
prioritize and elevate the patient experience," said Kemal Erkan, CEO, United Medical. "Features such
as enhanced visibility into health records, secure access for
designated family members, and robust self-service tools represent
key innovations we are particularly excited about. We look forward
to deepening our collaboration with Oracle to further drive
advancements in patient-centered care."
Many patients find it difficult to access their medical records,
make appointments, or understand clinician notes to determine the
necessary next steps in their care plan. As a result, medical staff
have become exhausted with the increased demands of managing more
patient calls, requests, and intake paperwork, while simultaneously
balancing patient care responsibilities. Oracle Health Patient
Portal is tackling a critical part of this challenge by empowering
patients to be in control of their care journey and reducing the
burden on staff.
Reducing administrative tasks for providers
Oracle Health Patient Administration helps clinic staff
coordinate patient care with guided workflows and automated tasks
for scheduling and registration. Staff can more easily gather
patient information, complete financial approvals, and manage
appointments and other resources. Oracle Health Patient
Administration also offers many of the same self-service
capabilities that patients are familiar with from the Oracle Health
Patient Portal, which makes it easier for them to register and
check-in for appointments, saving time and reducing the need for
assistance at the front desk.
"We anticipate that our staff will benefit from increased
efficiencies through self-service workflows and tasks in Oracle
Health Patient Administration," said Tiffany Cross, vice president of clinical
informatics, Covenant Health. "Features such as the ability to
choose multiple providers and locations, and view current
appointment details on the reschedule screen, minimize the need for
multiple clicks. This will allow our staff to focus on other
important tasks, ultimately empowering patients in their health
journey."
