The mobile technology enables access to vital
patient information regardless of network connectivity and location
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today
announced the general availability of Oracle Health Community Care,
a cloud-based mobile extension of the Oracle Health Foundation
electronic health record (EHR). The new offering enables caregivers
to securely access and update comprehensive patient charts
regardless of network connectivity, so nurses, therapists,
dieticians, social workers, and physicians have the information
they need to perform in-home patient visits, provide care in mobile
clinics, or undertake emergency interventions.
"Care settings are increasingly moving from a centralized
environment to a model that incorporates home health, mobile
venues, and rural environments where consistent network connections
are not always available," said Seema
Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle
Health and Life Sciences. "With Oracle Health Community Care, we
are delivering comprehensive patient health records to caregivers
in the field, so they have the information they need to provide
quality care anytime, anywhere."
Expanding access to care
With factors like rising healthcare costs, aging populations,
and staffing shortages, preference for home care has shifted more
services from hospitals to community settings. However, with
unreliable network connections in some areas, access to
comprehensive patient data can be limited, which hinders the
quality and timeliness of care. With Oracle Health Community Care,
even clinicians with limited or no connectivity can access current
patient chart details and continue to document patient encounters,
providing a needed whole person approach to treatment. Unlike other
mobile solutions available in the industry, information added to
the patient record when offline is synchronized with the EHR to
update the master record when the device using Oracle Health
Community Care is reconnected to a network.
For example, when patients are discharged from the hospital into
home-based care settings, Oracle Health Community Care enables
clinicians to securely download the latest patient information from
the Oracle Health Foundation EHR via a mobile device and continue
to retain access to those records even if internet connectivity is
lost. As they are visiting the patient at home, they can update the
patient record then upload it into the EHR when the device is
reconnected to a network so the entire care team can view near
real-time care activity. Using Oracle Health Community Care,
clinicians can efficiently document patient assessments, patient
orders, or any other changes in condition directly within the
mobile solution. This timely access to vital information allows
caregivers to provide personalized treatment tailored to each
patient's unique needs.
Additionally, Oracle Health Community Care integrates with
mapping tools on the mobile device allowing practitioners to view
details of neighborhoods and patients' homes to expedite in-home
visits. Practitioners can also directly call and message with the
patient's primary care provider to help connect all care team
members or to gain needed guidance on the patient's treatment.
