Epic, Oracle Cerner Execs Have Big Growth Plans
The EHR landscape is changing rapidly, and executives at the two
companies with the largest hospital market share, Epic and Oracle Cerner, are
in a race to dominate the next iteration of health IT.
Both
see their companies expanding beyond the hospital-based EHR to power a larger
IT infrastructure. Larry Ellison, co-founder and chief technology officer of
Oracle, revealed a plan to build technology for the complex healthcare
system after acquiring Cerner in June. Oracle plans to modernize Cerner and
build it into a complete source of information about an individual's
healthcare. He also said the system will be interoperable and have virtual care
capabilities and expanded clinical trial capabilities.
"We're
building a system where the health records, all American citizens' health
records, not only exist at the hospital level, but they are all in a unified
national healthcare database," Mr. Ellison said during a June 9
presentation. "The national database solves the data electronic health
record fragmentation problem."
Oracle
plans to use a low-code tool to develop the next generation of Cerner.
"We
expect to have our first pretty complete new Cerner health management product
out within 12 months, which is something we never could have done with the
previous generation of databases or previous generation of application
tools," Mr. Ellison said during Oracle's quarterly earnings call in mid-September.
"But all of that has changed. … Our new generation of application
development tools is going to enable us to modernize Cerner technology at a
rate that would be inconceivable a couple of years ago."
