Patterson Health Center adopts Oracle solution to enhance care
Patterson Health Center (PHC) in the US has adopted Oracle Health CommunityWorks to improve efficiency in its financial and clinical operations, aiming to enhance patient care in rural communities of Kansas.
The system's implementation, along with Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent, is set to reduce administrative workload, allowing care providers to dedicate more time to patient interaction.
PHC's initiative is a strategic move to broaden access to care in underserved areas and bolster patient care in the community it serves.
The critical access hospital and emergency centre sought to extend its service offerings and optimise operational efficiency.
The implementation of Oracle Health CommunityWorks has automated clinical and financial tasks, enhancing care coordination and benefitting local patients.
Patterson Health Center CEO Sarah Teaff said: 'With Oracle Health technology, we can collaborate across care venues to provide excellent health and wellness services and foster a healthier future for our community while using AI to automate tedious clinical documentation processes to enhance our clinicians' experiences.'
Oracle Health CommunityWorks has introduced a patient portal at PHC, simplifying communication regarding appointments and surgeries.
This has reduced wait times and facilitated collaboration with external providers, promoting continuity of care.
Additionally, PHC has established an integrated digital patient record that connects clinical interactions with billing processes, enhancing financial transparency and increasing reimbursements.
The Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent, integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) system, generates structured draft notes automatically from interactions between the patient and physician.
This reduces redundancy and organises content for convenient review, streamlining documentation and contributing to care efficiencies. Such automation cuts down the manual work that leads to provider burnout.
Last month, Fortify Children's Health adopted Oracle Health Data Intelligence to improve care quality to its paediatric patients.
