Summary
Oracle has launched the Health Community Care mobile extension for its Health Foundation electronic health records (EHR) system in the U.S., aimed at enhancing access to patient data during in-home visits and mobile clinics, even without internet connectivity. This tool addresses the challenges of network reliability in remote care settings by allowing offline chart updates that sync once reconnected. With a user interface consistent with the existing EHR and additional features like mapping and direct communication with primary care providers, the app facilitates efficient patient management in home health and rural environments, reflecting a shift in healthcare delivery towards more decentralized models.
