| Oracle Health Using AI to Improve Patient Experience, Reduce Physician Stress Oracle Health, a member of the Healthcare Leadership Council, said it will be utilizing the capabilities of artificial intelligence in its electronic health records system to improve the physician-patient experience and address the problem of physician burnout.
The new Oracle Clinical Digital Assistant will automatically take notes during doctors' conversation with their patients, allowing physicians to give patients their full attention. Healthcare providers will spend more time looking at their patients and less time looking at screens. Doctors will also be able to tell the digital assistant through voice commands to perform certain tasks, such as providing the latest lab results. Oracle is also adding new features for patients that will allow them to use voice commands in scheduling appointments for asking questions about certain medical procedures.
Suhas Ullyar, Senior Vice President of Product Management for Oracle Health, said, "The electronic health record should be a provider's best ally in delivering engaging, personalized care to the patients they serve. By bringing comprehensive generative AI and voice-first capabilities to our EHR platforms, we are not only helping providers reduce mundane work that leads to burnout, but we are also empowering them to create better interactions with patients that establish trust, build loyalty, and deliver better outcomes."
