Selects Oracle Health Data Intelligence to
improve population health and operational
efficiencies
Will use Oracle Clinical Trial Management
System to better manage and align patients with clinical
trials
AUSTIN,
Texas, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nashville
General Hospital (NGH), Middle Tennessee's public safety-net
hospital serving Davidson County
and Nashville, Tennessee, is using
Oracle Health CommunityWorks to better support its clinical,
financial, and operational needs. Unifying its clinical operations
with the new centralized and integrated electronic health records
(EHR) across the 150-bed hospital and more than 20 outpatient and
clinic settings enables NGH to automate several manual processes
and replace disparate legacy systems and devices, simplifying the
clinician and patient experience. Oracle Health CommunityWorks also
offers a foundation that can scale as NGH grows and adopts new
technologies, such as Oracle Health Data Intelligence and Oracle
Clinical Trial Management System.
"We chose Oracle Health because it offered a more complete and
integrated solution versus the other options we considered," said
Melanie Thomas, chief information
officer, Nashville General Hospital. "We are replacing several
disparate systems that required redundant data entry, disrupted our
operations during upgrades, and lacked integration between our
inpatient and ambulatory systems. These challenges are now solved
with Oracle Health, and it will help us achieve one patient, one
record across our facilities. When reviewing all vendor options, we
wanted our employees to have a say in the selection. Oracle Health
always ranked high across users and teams, and the go live has gone
smoothly."
Oracle Health CommunityWorks is a cloud-based deployment model
that provides a comprehensive, integrated user experience for both
patients and clinicians to meet the specific needs of smaller
hospital operations. It enables healthcare organizations like NGH
to share information between clinics, inpatient and outpatient
services, and the emergency department to provide clinicians with
complete, up-to-date patient health information, which helps inform
treatment decisions and improves care coordination.
A new foundation for innovation and insight
NGH is also planning to deploy Oracle Health Data Intelligence
to gain greater understanding of the health of its patient
population, as well as operational and financial performance.
The powerful and highly secure suite of cloud infrastructure,
analytics, and applications continuously integrates data from a
wide range of sources—clinical, claims, social determinants,
pharmacy, and more—to deliver insight across back office and
point-of-care workflows. Using Oracle Health Data Intelligence, the
staff at NGH can use data from across the ecosystem to focus care
efforts on the right patients at the right time, help improve care
quality for patients with chronic conditions, and manage costs for
patients in value-based care arrangements.
NGH also plans to significantly increase patient access to
clinical trials and will adopt Oracle Clinical Trial Management
System (CTMS) Cloud Service to advance this effort. CTMS will help
improve productivity by streamlining, automating, and reporting on
clinical trial operations data across all study management
processes and the progress of patients involved. NGH has chosen to
participate in 10 trials over the next year and plans to ramp up to
30 trials within three years.
"We are excited to work with Nashville General Hospital to help
deliver the best possible care to patients and further strengthen
our connection to the community," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and
general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "Nashville
General Hospital is part of a growing group of healthcare
organizations taking advantage of Oracle Health and Life Sciences'
extensive portfolio of cloud technology to better serve patients,
strengthen financial performance, and bridge the gap between
clinical research and clinical care."
