New capabilities in Oracle's health system
operations suite give hospitals the agility to make fast, effective
decisions to support patients and staff during traumatic
events
LAS
VEGAS, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HIMSS
-- New capabilities in Oracle's health system operations
suite, including Oracle Health Patient Flow, Oracle Health Clinical
Operations Whiteboard, Oracle Health Transfer Center, and Oracle
Health Command Center Dashboard, are empowering health systems to
act quickly and effectively in emergency situations. With enhanced
capabilities for mass transfers, bed management, evacuation
planning, and more, organizations can align resources and adjust
their approach in near real time to enhance management of rapidly
evolving, highly disruptive events. Customers, including MedStar
Health and BayCare Health, collaborated with Oracle Health on these
developments.
Oracle Health's suite of health system operations solutions help
optimize patient journeys across organizations by seamlessly
coordinating critical resources throughout the care continuum so
they can transform into real-time health systems. The new emergency
management capabilities are planned to be available to all existing
health systems operations customers at no cost.
"In moments where every second counts, technology must be an
enabler, not inhibitor to swift and effective response—and this is
exactly what we are delivering with these new health system
operations capabilities," said Seema
Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle
Health and Life Sciences. "These solutions deliver the agility and
insight needed to manage and rapidly respond to evolving and
potentially chaotic situations."
Previously, making mass patient transfers out of a unit or
facility was inefficient, forcing teams to rely on manual, complex,
and time-consuming processes, such as phone calls and written
orders, to relocate patients to safer locations or make room to
care for emergency victims. The new capabilities address this gap
by enabling batch actions by bed management teams so they can
manage large numbers of patients effectively and benefit from
enhanced situational awareness.
Hospitals and health systems can also dynamically hide or unhide
beds in Oracle Health Patient Flow to temporarily create and then
remove disaster beds from view during normal operations, offering
accurate and flexible bed management. Within Oracle Health Patient
Flow, care teams can assign priorities and determine the order in
which patients are moved, as well as see when a bed is assigned at
the accepting facility. Nursing unit staff can also specify which
beds are prioritized for new patient admissions. With these
capabilities, staff can limit administrative tasks and focus on
prioritizing the most critical patients during disaster response
situations.
