Oracle Unveils AI-Backed Electronic Health Record With Voice Commands and Smart Insights for Clinicians

Oracle Launches AI-Backed Electronic Health Record for Ambulatory Providers

Oracle Health has introduced a new electronic health record (EHR) system powered by artificial intelligence. This system is currently available for ambulatory providers in the U.S., pending regulatory approval from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT. The company plans to extend its functionality to acute care facilities by next year.

Voice Commands and AI Summaries Streamline Clinical Work

The AI-enhanced EHR allows clinicians to use voice commands to quickly access key patient information, such as recent lab results or current medications. This reduces the time spent manually searching through records. The system also generates concise AI-based summaries, highlighting relevant patient data to support faster clinical decision-making.

Providers can retrieve information from multiple sources—including drug databases, pharmacy records, and clinical guidelines—via simple voice prompts. Oracle ensures transparency by clearly marking AI-generated content and providing detailed information about data sources, intended use, and limitations.

Features Supporting Clinical Efficiency and Safety

• The EHR flags potential care gaps, financial concerns, and readmission risks to help providers intervene proactively.
• It adapts to clinician preferences by learning from their behavior over time, improving personalized workflow.
• Users can incorporate their own AI agents or third-party AI tools alongside Oracle’s native agents, offering flexibility in AI integration.

Seema Verma, EVP and GM of Oracle Health and Life Sciences, emphasized the company’s approach: “Our agents act as smart assistants that dynamically surface critical insights and suggest actions while keeping clinicians in control.” This new platform was built from the ground up in the cloud, targeting what Oracle calls the "Agentic AI era."

Context Within the Healthcare IT Market

This launch follows Oracle’s $28 billion acquisition of Cerner roughly three years ago, marking a deeper push into healthcare technology. Despite some challenges—including a difficult rollout at the Department of Veterans Affairs and a shrinking hospital EHR market share—Oracle is advancing its product offerings.

Recent data from KLAS Research shows Oracle holds nearly 23% of the acute care hospital EHR market, trailing behind Epic’s 42%. Oracle’s announcement comes days before Epic’s annual Users Group Meeting, where Epic is expected to announce its own AI clinical documentation assistant.

As AI continues to integrate into healthcare workflows, Oracle’s new EHR aims to reduce administrative burdens and help clinicians focus more on patient care.
