After Oracle completed its $28.4 billion acquisition of Cerner on June 7, the company released a blog post detailing its plans for healthcare.
Four things to know:
- Oracle plans to develop new cloud-enabled capabilities that will allow providers to access information on an interface that is easy to use.
- Oracle aims to reduce the time and effort required to find a patient’s information and to give people access to their own health information.
- Oracle wants to open application programming insights to give authorized users access to health data and insights.
- Oracle will create an ecosystem where people, patients, providers and payers will be able to access clinical, operational, and financial data on the cloud.
“Combining our existing healthcare industry solutions — from clinical trials to health insurance payor solutions to public health analysis systems — with our acquisition of Cerner, we believe Oracle has a uniquely positioned opportunity to offer new solutions to a broken healthcare system,” wrote Mike Sicilia, executive vice president of Oracle’s business unit.
