Oracle Health delivers free code to enable
organizations to securely access a Veteran's health history to help
ensure timely and accurate treatment no matter where care is
received
AUSTIN,
Texas, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
Health today released new code that will enable its customers to
support the Veteran Interoperability Pledge. A framework that
allows US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and community
providers to securely share patient health information, the Pledge
supports the care of Veterans receiving treatment both inside and
outside the VA network. With the new code, customers can seamlessly
integrate APIs from the VA into Oracle Health's electronic health
record (EHR) workflows to enable secure data exchange with
organizations attending to the health and well-being of Veterans.
Marshfield Clinic Health System, an early adopter of the new Oracle
Health code package, is already enabling its providers to confirm
if a patient is a Veteran when they visit the emergency department
or urgent care. Oracle Health EHR customers can download the code
for free here.
"Oracle Health has long provided the technology needed to better
serve veterans with quality healthcare, and today is another step
forward in this commitment," said Seema
Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle
Health and Life Sciences. "Enabling data to flow with the patient
through their healthcare journey is essential and, in some cases,
lifesaving. Patients should be confident that any provider they
visit can access their records and medical history to help ensure
timely and accurate care, and Oracle Health is working to make this
a reality for all US Veterans."
Oracle is offering the code for free to reduce the barriers for
any customer organization to be able to confirm a Veteran's status,
particularly in emergency situations. This will help providers
connect the Veteran to the appropriate treatment, invoke veteran
protocols, and be reimbursed for care.
Oracle Health's solution will also help providers confirm if the
patient is a Veteran even if they are not currently registered to
receive benefits and ultimately automate benefit eligibility
determination and referrals, identify relevant local, state, and
federal health resources to assist Veterans, and gain access to
clinical and administrative data for quality assessment and care
coordination.
Customers can download and install the code package for
free and implement it using their internal IT teams or opt to
employ Oracle Health consulting services for support.
