In recent developments, various healthcare organizations in the United States have chosen Oracle Health’s CommunityWorks, an advanced electronic health record (EHR) system tailored to address the unique clinical, financial, and operational demands of smaller hospital operations in both acute and ambulatory settings. Among the notable institutions embracing this integrated solution are Crawford County Memorial Hospital, Golden Plains Community Hospital, Murray-Calloway County Hospital, Nashville General Hospital, and Sarah D. Culbertson Memorial Hospital and Culbertson Clinics.
Oracle Health demonstrates a keen understanding of the challenges faced by healthcare providers in community and critical access hospitals, including geographic isolation, workforce shortages, technology disparities, and limited resources. CommunityWorks, purpose-built for community, rural, and critical access hospitals, is designed to mitigate these challenges and enhance overall healthcare delivery.
Travis Dalton, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Oracle Health, expressed appreciation for rural healthcare providers, emphasizing Oracle Health’s commitment to ensuring everyone has access to high-quality care, regardless of their location. He highlighted the CommunityWorks solution, launched over a decade ago, as an initiative to bring innovative technology to some of the smallest hospitals nationwide.
