Highlights
00:05 — Oracle has made its Clinical Digital Assistant for U.S. ambulatory clinics generally available; it’s a combination of GenAI, clinical intelligence, multimodal voice, and screen-driven assistance, along with straightforward workflow functionality.
00:23 — The software is integrated with the Oracle Electronic Health Record, or EHR. The new assistant helps to eliminate system clicks, reduce burnout among healthcare providers, and improve quality of care by enabling doctors to focus more on patients than other tasks such as note taking.

00:42 — An early study found that doctors saved between 20% to 40% in daily documentation time. Research has found doctors attribute the bulk of their administrative burden to software, and now GenAI combined with automation addresses an issue that was previously unsolvable.
