Oracle Cerner is expanding its partnership with digital health and remote care company Validic, bringing Validic’s services to Oracle Cerner clients.
The partnership comes just a few months after Oracle completed its $28.3 billion acquisition of Cerner in June. Oracle is the world’s largest database management company, while Cerner is a provider of digital information systems used within hospitals and health systems. Cerner is also one of the top electronic health record (EHR) providers in the nation.
Clients with the Oracle Cerner will be able to implement remote monitoring programs into the EHR to manage patients with chronic conditions. Validic claims to turn personal health data from one of healthcare's largest ecosystems of personal health devices into insights that can be used to improve clinical care decisions and delivery. The programs can be embedded into the clinical workflow, it can support chronic condition management and provide remote monitoring without additional clinical staff resources.
"The most successful healthcare organizations know that remote data and alerts will only achieve full scale adoption with true clinical workflow integration,” Validic CEO Drew Schiller said in a statement. “Because we've made personal health data a first-class citizen of the EHR, the right data is delivered to care teams when they need it within their existing workflow."
Validic already supports the largest RPM program in the United States at Kaiser Permanente with more than 250,000 enrolled patients since its inception and 6,000 referring providers. Its digital health platform has 5 million active users and more than 530 supported devices.
