Oracle Health Community Care Improves Care in Mobile, Home, and Rural Settings

The mobile technology enables access to vital patient information regardless of network connectivity and location  

AUSTIN, Texas, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced the general availability of Oracle Health Community Care, a cloud-based mobile extension of the Oracle Health Foundation electronic health record (EHR). The new offering enables caregivers to securely access and update comprehensive patient charts regardless of network connectivity, so nurses, therapists, dieticians, social workers, and physicians have the information they need to perform in-home patient visits, provide care in mobile clinics, or undertake emergency interventions.

"Care settings are increasingly moving from a centralized environment to a model that incorporates home health, mobile venues, and rural environments where consistent network connections are not always available," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "With Oracle Health Community Care, we are delivering comprehensive patient health records to caregivers in the field, so they have the information they need to provide quality care anytime, anywhere."

Expanding access to care

With factors like rising healthcare costs, aging populations, and staffing shortages, preference for home care has shifted more services from hospitals to community settings. However, with unreliable network connections in some areas, access to comprehensive patient data can be limited, which hinders the quality and timeliness of care. With Oracle Health Community Care, even clinicians with limited or no connectivity can access current patient chart details and continue to document patient encounters, providing a needed whole person approach to treatment. Unlike other mobile solutions available in the industry, information added to the patient record when offline is synchronized with the EHR to update the master record when the device using Oracle Health Community Care is reconnected to a network.

For example, when patients are discharged from the hospital into home-based care settings, Oracle Health Community Care enables clinicians to securely download the latest patient information from the Oracle Health Foundation EHR via a mobile device and continue to retain access to those records even if internet connectivity is lost. As they are visiting the patient at home, they can update the patient record then upload it into the EHR when the device is reconnected to a network so the entire care team can view near real-time care activity. Using Oracle Health Community Care, clinicians can efficiently document patient assessments, patient orders, or any other changes in condition directly within the mobile solution. This timely access to vital information allows caregivers to provide personalized treatment tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Additionally, Oracle Health Community Care integrates with mapping tools on the mobile device allowing practitioners to view details of neighborhoods and patients' homes to expedite in-home visits. Practitioners can also directly call and message with the patient's primary care provider to help connect all care team members or to gain needed guidance on the patient's treatment.
