The potential benefits of an Oracle-Cerner combination
Part 3 – Can Oracle’s efforts with Cerner could provide a model for how other tech giants might come in and make a healthcare play? How will they follow through on the promise of scaling systems and lowering the total cost of ownership?
Oracle Cerner Special Report part 3 - What are the primary benefits of an Oracle-Cerner combination?
Oracle’s size and global reach can provide much needed resources for Cerner, the panelists say. The greatest potential may lie outside the U.S., where EHR adoption is only now ramping up.
Additionally, Oracle has a reputation for stability and security, prime requisites for an EHR company that needs high confidence in its products.
Healthcare places a premium on partnerships and relationships, and that’s what Oracle will have to preserve as it operates Cerner; continuation and emphasis upon service and support are key factors engendering confidence in technology products.
Oracle’s efforts in tandem with Cerner could provide a model for how other tech giants could come in and make a play in the market – if it can follow through on the promise of scaling systems and lowering the total cost of ownership.
