Saving Over 1,000 Days with AI Agents
Clinicians can potentially save nearly an hour per day on clinical documentation by adopting AI-powered electronic medical record (EMR) systems, according to Michael Draheim, Chief Clinical CIO of Oracle Health Asia-Pacific. At HIMSS25 APAC, Draheim discussed Oracle Health’s move towards a more AI-driven approach in developing EMR systems. Oracle Health is integrating task-specific clinical AI agents into its mobile EMR application, enabling clinicians to interact with patients while seamlessly capturing those interactions directly into their workflow."I can have a conversation with a patient. And all the things I do within that application immediately go back into their record, where appropriate, to be able to ensure that I have the full integrated treatment pathway. That might include specific actions like a letter back to their GP or a treatment plan after getting discharged from an orthopaedic operation," Draheim explained.Some AI features, such as chart review and note generation, have already been rolled out in the United States. Oracle Health is also developing specialist-specific AI agents tailored to different clinical needs.
"If I'm an endocrinologist and I am having a conversation [with a patient], there are some specific things that I want to do as an endocrinologist. So the system understands that, and it may change the layout to ensure it meets the requirements I need for my endocrinology patients, which is very different from a general surgeon… The system understands that based on your profile, who you are and what you're required to do at that specific point in time," Draheim said.The AI also automates tasks specific to healthcare staff. For example, if a clinician changes a cannula due to patient discomfort, the interaction can be recorded automatically. Oracle Health is further enhancing its system with multilingual capabilities and ensuring flexibility so clinicians can work efficiently regardless of location or specialty.
"We are making sure the ecosystem works in a way that is flexible depending on where you are and what you are doing as a clinician, rather than making you change your practices because the technology is fixed and ensuring that it supports what you need to do, but also gives you access to those things wherever you are," Draheim added.The results have been significant. Oracle Health has observed a 50% reduction in patient interaction documentation burden. Over half a million notes have been produced across the system. Based on pre- and post-implementation studies, clinicians save roughly 45 minutes daily on administrative tasks. This time savings translates to approximately 1,100 days gained for hospitals, allowing clinicians to leave work on time, see more patients, or focus on more critical, client-facing activities. Currently, these AI features are live in the US, with beta testing underway in the United Kingdom and preparations ongoing in Australia.
