AUSTIN, Texas, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Arkansas Heart Hospital, a leader in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, is expanding the use of Oracle Health’s electronic health records (EHR) and RevElate Patient Accounting solutions across its network of outpatient clinics and two hospitals. Along with its existing Oracle Fusion finance and supply chain applications, Arkansas Heart will have a centralized health and operational management solution across all of its facilities. This will help the network more easily share important data, improve staff and patient experiences, and better align resources with patient needs.
“By extending Oracle technology across our organization, we are putting information in the hands of our staff that is vital to our patient care at times when every second counts.”
“Since we opened our doors nearly 27 years ago, innovation has been a driving force that has set Arkansas Heart apart from the competition,” said Bruce Murphy, MD, PhD, CEO and Founder, Arkansas Heart Hospital. “Oracle shares our commitment to transforming healthcare for the betterment of patients, staff and the communities we serve. By extending Oracle technology across our organization, we are putting information in the hands of our staff that is vital to caring for our patients at times when every second counts.”
Cardiovascular disease is on the rise in the US, causing 17 million deaths worldwide each year and is expected to rise to more than 23 million by 2030.1. By extending its 10-year partnership with Oracle Health, Arkansas Heart can improve the way its staff works and delivers care by having a single, longitudinal health record for every patient, no matter which Arkansas Heart facility they visit. In tandem, Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM) deliver networked standardized business processes on a single platform that helps increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve the employee experience.
Using Oracle as a single resource for its clinical and corporate operations helps Arkansas Heart further embrace future advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that can automate documentation, support a clinically-focused approach to the revenue cycle, improve efficiency and to embrace the innovation that has been a hallmark of Arkansas Heart Hospital for years.
“Many healthcare networks today operate with outdated technology that stores data and processes, making it difficult to adapt to new solutions that offer important clinical and financial insights,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Oracle Life Sciences. “With an intuitive, connected digital health record system that spans its operations, along with Fusion Applications, the Arkansas Heart team will have easy access to the information needed to better serve patients, clinicians and staff.”
