Oracle and Zoom have expanded their partnership to provide easier, faster, and more effective telehealth services.
Telehealth capabilities can be connected with Oracle Cerner Millenium, allowing providers globally to join patient appointments quickly and easily and simultaneously access electronic health records (EHRs).
The solution offers clinicians a connected workflow and tools to record updates in the patient’s EHR, saving precious time.
Stephanie Trunzo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Health, said: "Globally, the need for secure, convenient, and on-demand telehealth services is only growing.
"Integrating Zoom with Oracle Cerner Millennium is an important step in advancing telehealth options and giving patients increased options for care.
“This unified system enables caregivers to better engage and serve patients even when they are remote, helping reduce practitioner's administrative burden and increasing access to care."
Zoom already has millions of meeting participants that use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure due to the quality of its security, reliability, scalability, and overall performance.
According to Oracle, Zoom’s telehealth services, global reach, and quality of service enable care networks to connect with patients worldwide.
The latest partnership with Oracle allows healthcare providers to offer telehealth care services to more patients, including those who may be harder to reach due to poor health, lack of transportation, or living in a rural location.
Adding to Oracle’s “deep history in life sciences”, other health settings can be accessed by more people, as a result of the collaboration. Lifesaving clinical trials, for example, which involve research, development, and treatment can now offer a simpler means of participation.
Zoom and OCI support compliance to protect patient data with HIPAA, GDPR, Mars-E, PIPEDA/PHIPA, and more.
Heidi West, Head of Healthcare, Zoom, said: "As people have adopted virtual meetings in workplaces and in their personal lives, they are increasingly seeking that same convenience, simplicity, and choice in healthcare.
“Telemedicine consultations and virtual visits provide options and access at the times and places that would be best for them.
