Oracle releases cloud-based technology for caregivers

 Oracle has released its new cloud-based offering, Oracle Health Community Care, for caregivers to access patient charts.

The new technology is a mobile extension of the Oracle Health Foundation electronic health record (EHR) and also enables caregivers to securely update the comprehensive charts irrespective of network connectivity and location.

Therapists, nurses, social workers, dieticians and physicians have the necessary information for conducting in-home patient visits, carrying out emergency interventions and delivering care in mobile clinics.

Oracle's health and life sciences executive vice-president and general manager Seema Verma said: “With Oracle Health Community Care, we are delivering comprehensive patient health records to caregivers in the field, so they have the information they need to provide quality care anytime, anywhere.”

Oracle Health Community Care empowers clinicians to access up-to-date patient chart details and document encounters offline, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care.

This feature synchronises information added to the patient record while offline with the EHR once network connection is restored.

When patients transition from hospital to home-based care, for instance, Oracle Health Community Care allows clinicians to download the latest patient information securely from the Oracle Health Foundation EHR through a mobile device. This ensures continued access to records.

Clinicians can then update the patient record during home visits and sync the data with the EHR, allowing the entire care team to access near-real-time updates on patient care activities.

The solution also allows for the documentation of patient assessments, orders, and changes in condition in the mobile app directly.

This immediate access to critical information facilitates the delivery of tailored care that meets the specific requirements of each patient.

Oracle Health Community Care collaborates with mapping applications on mobile devices, enabling practitioners to access information about neighbourhoods and patients' residences to facilitate in-home visits.

It also provides communication features, enabling practitioners to call or message the primary care provider of the patient.

Last September, Oracle expanded its healthcare offerings with the introduction of an RFID [radio-frequency identification] for Replenishment solution within its Oracle Fusion Cloud supply chain and manufacturing (SCM) suite.
