Mt. San Rafael Hospital Selects Oracle Health for Enhanced Financial Performance and Patient Care
Mt. San Rafael Hospital and Clinics (MSRHC), one of the nation's Top 20 critical access hospitals, has chosen Oracle Health to enhance its financial operations and electronic health record (EHR) capabilities. The decision aims to streamline clinical processes and ultimately improve patient care across its services.
Innovative Technology Integration
MSRHC will implement the Oracle Health Foundation EHR alongside the Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent. This AI-driven, voice-enabled solution automates clinical documentation, allowing physicians to focus more on patient interactions rather than administrative tasks. By integrating artificial intelligence into the clinical workflow, MSRHC aims to alleviate administrative burdens and create efficiencies in patient care delivery.
Additionally, Oracle Health Seamless Exchange will facilitate the secure aggregation of patient data from various sources, ensuring that clinicians have access to comprehensive and timely information.
Leadership Insights on the Strategic Partnership
"Our move to Oracle Health is an intentional, strategic investment in the future of our organization," stated Michael Archuleta, CIO of MSRHC. He emphasized that integrating clinical AI with a unified EHR will strengthen the connection between caregivers and patients, positioning the hospital for improved operational performance.
CEO Kim Lucero added, "At Mt. San Rafael, every decision centers on delivering exceptional care to our community. This collaboration with Oracle will provide our teams with the modern tools necessary for enhancing operational efficiency and patient experience."
Addressing Healthcare Challenges
The integration of the Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent within the EHR allows physicians to converse naturally with patients, while the system drafts clinical notes seamlessly. This transition is designed to minimize the time spent on manual data entry, helping to combat physician burnout.
Moreover, the Oracle Health Seamless Exchange enhances the clinician's workflow by cleaning and deduplicating data before presenting it, facilitating quicker and more informed clinical decision-making.
Oracle’s Commitment to Rural Healthcare
Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, remarked, "Oracle Health is committed to solving the unique challenges faced by small and critical access hospitals. Our solutions aim to improve interoperability, augment workflows, and reduce caregiver load.” This dedication supports organizations like MSRHC in optimizing their clinical and financial outcomes.
