Oracle Health is expanding its Clinical AI Agent to help clinicians automate the creation of clinical orders during patient appointments.
The tool now supports automated order creation for laboratory tests, imaging and diagnostic studies, new and refilled prescription medications, follow-up appointments and referrals. Oracle Health said in a Feb. 2 news release that the update builds on the product’s existing note-generation feature and uses ambient listening during visits to draft clinical orders for physician review and approval.
The technology is designed to reduce the administrative burden of repetitive manual tasks, such as order entry, which can pull providers away from direct patient care and contribute to burnout.
Oracle Health said the Clinical AI Agent analyzes patient-clinician conversations to capture next-step actions and uses advanced reasoning to create contextually appropriate orders. The system evaluates prior order activity, patient order history, physician ordering favorites and organizational ordering preferences.
The company also said its clinical AI agents use semantic reasoning to interpret clinical meaning and work together as a system, sharing context in near real time to support automation and efficiency.
Since its U.S. launch just over a year ago, the Clinical AI Agent has saved physicians more than 200,000 hours, Oracle Health said.
