Yonkers, N.Y.-based Saint Joseph s Medical Center is expanding its Oracle Health EHR system and its Cerner RevElate patient accounting system to its 12 clinic health systems.
Mike Sicilia, EVP of Oracle Global Industries, describes what the company has been prioritizing since the Cerner acquisition finalized this past June, and previews what it will be showcasing on the HIMSS23 exhibit floor in Chicago this month.
The chairman said the new, larger company is well-resourced to improve upon EHR, revenue cycle and data exchange tools that too often "aren't helping" but inhibiting care delivery.
Cerner released its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings report this week, showing an increase in revenue but a decrease in net earnings in 2021. In the financial release – the first following the announcement of its acquisition by Oracle this past year – Cerner leaders said its Q4 revenue underperformed projections to some degree.
