Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) announced its Health Clinical AI Agent note generation system is now available in U.S. emergency departments and inpatient settings, according to a company press release.

The system automatically generates draft clinical notes by capturing details during patient encounters and organizing symptoms and treatments into comprehensive documentation. It draws from data within Oracle Health Foundation EHR, including triage notes and examination information, to create encounter summaries covering patient visit reasons, medical history, risk factors, findings and treatments.

AtlantiCare, a New Jersey-based healthcare organization, expanded deployment to all emergency departments after reporting a 41% decrease in documentation time in ambulatory care settings. "When documentation becomes lighter and more intuitive, it changes the dynamic of a shift," said Jordan Ruch, AtlantiCare's Chief Information Officer. "Our providers can stay present with patients instead of thinking about the screen."

The AI agent can produce multiple notes per encounter, including admit and progress notes, and recognizes voices of patients, caregivers and clinicians for context-aware documentation. In inpatient settings, it incorporates information from prior days' notes and current clinical conversations to generate comprehensive draft progress notes.

"Oracle Health Clinical AI Agent has changed the way our clinicians practice by significantly reducing documentation workload," said Dr. Randy Thompson, Chief Health Analytics Officer at Billings Clinic – Logan Health.

Oracle reported the system has saved doctors more than 200,000 hours across all U.S. providers since launching over a year ago. The Clinical AI agents use semantic reasoning to understand clinical meaning and work together as a system in near real time.
