Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent helps UK doctors spend more time on patient care
Following a successful pilot programme at several NHS Trusts, Oracle Health has announced its Clinical AI Agent, Clinical Note, is now available in the UK. The new AI solution allows caregivers at the NHS and private practices to use an ambient voice and screen-driven assistant to draft patient notes, so they can reduce administrative tasks and devote more time to patient care. Trusts participating in the pilot programme, including Barts Health NHS Trust, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Milton Keynes University Hospital, are now deploying the solution more broadly across their organisations.
The UK Government’ s 10-Year Health Plan, titled Fit for the Future aims to seize the opportunities provided by new technologies, AI, medicines and innovations to deliver better care for all patients. As a leading electronic health record( EHR) provider, Oracle Health supports this vision and the general availability of Oracle Health Clinical AI
Agent, Clinical Note will help deliver on it. Oracle Health’ s AI-powered tools come at a critical time for the NHS as it looks to reduce waiting times and bureaucratic processes, underscoring the need for solutions that seamlessly integrate into clinician workflows and help give doctors and nurses their time back to focus on patients.
With Clinical Note clinicians no longer have to spend time sifting through dropdown menus and typing on their laptops to document patient visits.
Instead, Clinical Note automatically drafts structured notes from patient-clinician interactions, so doctors only have to review and approve the notes. This reduces the administrative work
Our ongoing trial of the Clinical AI Agent has demonstrated the power that ambient voice technology can bring to the NHS
that contributes to clinician burnout and enables them to focus on the patient during a visit.
“ As a user of the Clinical AI Agent, it’ s been really fantastic. It’ s improved the accuracy of my notes and given me a lot of time back. Now, when I see a patient, I can spend all my time focusing on them. I can complete my letter and give it to the patient before they even leave the department a few minutes later,” said Robin Kearney, Consultant in Acute Medicine, Milton Keynes University Hospital.
“ Our ongoing trial of the Clinical AI Agent has demonstrated the power that ambient voice technology can bring to the NHS,” said Sanjay Gautama, Chief Clinical Information Officer and Caldicott Guardian for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and North West London Integrated Care Board.
“ It is beneficial for both patient and clinician experiences.”
The general availability of Clinical Note in the UK builds upon Oracle’ s commitment to invest US $ 5 billion over the next five years to meet the rapidly growing demand for its cloud services in the UK.
This ongoing investment expands the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure( OCI) footprint in the UK and supports the government’ s vision to drive AI innovation and adoption, enabling more organisations across the UK, including those in healthcare, to leverage Oracle’ s comprehensive AI and cloud computing services. • 42
