Pioneering the future of national healthcare
interoperability, helping simplify patient information
sharing between healthcare providers, and empowering patients to
control their own data
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Health
Summit – Oracle Health today announced that it
intends to begin the process to become a Qualified Health
Information Network (QHIN) as a part of the Trusted Exchange
Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). Becoming a QHIN will allow
Oracle Health to directly enable its healthcare
customers to participate in the
U.S. government's nationwide approach to offer secure, smooth,
and standardized sharing of health information between providers
and payers, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies.
Oracle Health's network is intended to offer a central, secure
gateway for healthcare data exchange, making it easier for
hospitals, clinics, and insurers to share information with one
another. Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the system
will not only take advantage of Oracle's decades of experience in
securing the world's most important data but is also expected to
make sharing that data faster and more efficient by reducing the
need for extra technology layers that can complicate and slow down
the process. Furthermore, the network is being designed to support
data types that are not typically available in other exchanges,
such as X-rays and MRIs. Accelerating data exchange and securely
expanding the variety and volume of data available across the
healthcare ecosystem is increasingly important to fuel advanced AI
capabilities that can help inform care decisions, optimize
treatment paths, and streamline payment processes.
"As a longtime champion of giving patients control over their
data, Oracle Health continues to demonstrate its commitment to
making data more available, useful, and secure," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and
general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "As we progress
through the TEFCA QHIN application process, Oracle will continue to
lead the industry in providing solutions that help reduce costs and
complexity and improve the utility of information for patients and
providers."
Oracle Health is a founding member of the CommonWell Health
Alliance, the first multi-vendor driven national network for
interoperability established more than 10 years ago. As Oracle
Health takes actions to become an applicant QHIN and progresses
through the QHIN process, it plans to continue to be a member of
and support CommonWell and other related industry
organizations.
