Oracle announced general availability of the Oracle Clinical Digital Assistant for ambulatory clinics in the US. The mobile offering combines generative AI, clinical intelligence, multimodal voice and screen driven assistance, and simplified workflows into a single, unified solution that enables providers to give their full attention to the needs of their patients. Integrated with the Oracle Health Electronic Health Record (EHR), the solution transforms the doctor-patient experience by combining clinical automation, conversation-based note generation, and proposed clinical follow ups directly at the point of care. For example, providers no longer need to interrupt appointments to navigate through drop-down menus or scroll through screens to find information.

They can instantly access critical elements of a patient's medical history, such as the latest blood test results, simply by asking Oracle Clinical Digital Assistant. During the appointment, the solution captures comprehensive notes with the preferred templates the provider uses currently in the patient's EHR record, saving hours of caregiver time each day. Unlike other solutions, Oracle Clinical Digital Assistant aids in note generation in minutes rather than hours and supports next-step actions, including drafting referrals and prescription orders for approval, and scheduling follow-up labs and appointments.

This helps improve the accuracy of medical records and workflow efficiency. Physicians at 13 early adopter organizations, including Billings Clinic, Covenant Health, Hudson Physicians, St. John's Health, and T.J. Regional Health, saved on average more than four and a half minutes per patient and 20-40% in documentation time daily.

More than just eliminating clicks, the solution automates the entire documentation process and synchronizes it back to the patient's individual medical record without copying and pasting. This automation significantly reduces the manual work that contributes to burnout. To ensure oversight and control, providers complete the interaction by reviewing, modifying, and approving the notes and next-step actions on their computer or mobile device.
