Built from the ground up with the latest AI technology, Oracle's next-generation EHR delivers intelligence that helps clinicians focus time on patients, provide more informed care, and reduce administrative burden

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Oracle brought Electronic Health Records (EHRs) into the 21^st century. Now available for ambulatory providers in the U.S.^1, the all-new, modern Oracle Health EHR helps clinicians enhance care quality with AI-fueled intelligence that is contextual and conversational. Instead of drowning in a sea of screens and clicks, clinicians can simply use voice commands to ask for the information they need, such as a patient's recent lab results and current medications. Designed in partnership with providers on the front lines, this secure, voice-first solution is reimagining care by empowering clinicians with personalized, streamlined workflows. This helps keep them informed and in control while cutting administrative busywork so they can focus on what matters most, their patients. Additionally, Oracle plans to introduce a full spectrum of acute care functionality in 2026, further enhancing the capabilities of the EHR to support a wider range of healthcare settings and clinical needs.

"When Oracle committed to transforming the healthcare industry, we knew we had to start with the EHR," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "While our competitors seem content with bolting features onto antiquated technology, we took on the enormous and highly complex challenge of creating an entirely new EHR, built in the cloud for the Agentic AI era. Our agents act as smart assistants that can dynamically surface critical insights and queue suggested actions while enabling clinicians to remain in control. This is the future of intelligent care, where our healthcare providers are freed from technical baggage so they can focus on caring, connecting, healing, and preventing illness."

The new Oracle Health EHR is built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), a secure foundation that leverages AI to organize information, uncover insights, and support better care across every interaction. To help improve accuracy, usefulness, and safety, Oracle's system was trained on clinical concepts, including conditions, lab results, medications, care pathways, and more. Oracle's AI agents don't just interpret text, they can understand clinical meaning, enabling richer and more accurate, in-the-moment insights. For example, they understand which medications align with which conditions, providing better clarity and consistency for physicians while helping to limit risk.

Coupled with an intuitive, automated, consumer-grade application experience, Oracle Health EHR helps alleviate clinicians' cognitive load by embedding AI directly into clinical workflows to provide quick access to critical information, limit context switching, and streamline and reduce tasks such as documentation and coding—bringing back the joy of practicing medicine. 

"Oracle continues to aggressively advance healthcare innovation by building an intelligent, comprehensive health ecosystem of solutions, built natively for healthcare providers, payers, life sciences, public health, and consumers," said Mutaz Shegewi, Senior Research Director, Worldwide Healthcare Provider AI, Platforms and Technologies, IDC. "The availability of the ambulatory EHR highlights Oracle's fundamental focus on delivering an immersive, AI-first, and cloud-based solution designed to optimize clinical workflows and reimagine clinician and patient experiences."

AI agents on duty
Oracle Health EHR's native AI agents work as a unified, orchestrated system, sharing context and collaborating in near real time to increase efficiency and process automation.

While natively built, the new EHR's semantic AI foundation is not a walled garden. Instead, it's an open system where customers can extend Oracle's agents, build their own, or integrate third-party models while keeping workflows safe and patient centric. Oracle's generative and open AI stack also supports the rapid deployment of new agents with enterprise-grade performance, scalability, and efficiency, so customers stay ahead as needs evolve.
