As EHR vendors turn their focus to artificial intelligence, Oracle Health is using the technology "every step of the way," Nashville (Tenn.) Business Journal reported.
AI innovation is one reason Oracle is moving to Nashville, which is a hotbed of healthcare activity, Oracle Health chair David Feinberg, MD, said at an October event covered by the news outlet.
"We're talking about using voice and ambient listening and AI in every step of the way," Dr. Feinberg said at the Nashville Health Care Sessions panel moderated by Sam Hazen, CEO of Nashville-based HCA Healthcare. "The part that's so important to Nashville is we want to do this in partnership."
Right now, the EHR company formerly known as Cerner is deploying AI to get clinicians away from their computers and in front of patients.
"If you look at your nurses in your facilities, they're 50% of the time at the terminal, 20% of the time looking for supplies and 30% of the time nursing," Dr. Feinberg said in the Oct. 11 story. "If we can take care of the supply, not hiding it in the roof, and we can take care of the terminal, you've now tripled your nursing capability."
