Oracle Health’s AI-Driven EHR Secures ONC Certification, Meets EPCS Compliance Standards

The approvals verify that the platform meets federal requirements for functionality, security, interoperability, and controlled-substance prescription safeguards.

Oracle Health has secured ONC Health IT certification and DEA Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS) compliance for its next-generation AI-powered Electronic Health Record (EHR), making the system available for adoption across U.S. ambulatory practices.

The approvals verify that the platform meets federal requirements for functionality, security, interoperability, and controlled-substance prescription safeguards.

The company said the upgraded EHR was rebuilt with native AI embedded throughout clinical workflows to reduce the administrative load that has long challenged physicians. With these certifications in place, providers can begin integrating the platform as part of their routine clinical and operational processes.

At the core of the new EHR is an AI-driven voice interface that allows clinicians to request patient information—such as lab results or active medications—without manual navigation. The system aims to shift the user experience from multiple clicks to conversational, hands-free interaction, particularly during high-pressure clinical encounters.

Oracle Health noted that the platform’s AI engine is trained on clinical contexts, enabling it to interpret medical terminology, recognize relationships between diagnoses and treatments, and surface relevant insights in real time. The company says this capability helps generate more accurate and context-aware recommendations at the point of care.

Another key feature is explainable intelligence. Rather than providing opaque outputs, the AI system outlines the reasoning behind its suggestions to support informed clinical decision-making. This is designed to differentiate the platform from traditional predictive tools that rely heavily on retrospective data patterns.

The EHR is also built as an open system, allowing healthcare organizations to extend existing capabilities, integrate third-party AI models, or develop their own custom agents. This flexibility is intended to support diverse provider environments and varying levels of digital maturity.

“For decades, EHRs that were supposed to support clinicians instead entangled them in administrative tasks and processes that took valuable time away from patient care,” said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. “Oracle Health EHR is a breakthrough. We are harnessing AI to bring greater intelligence to the bedside, reduce friction between payers and providers, and nearly eliminate the countless hours of data entry required by our nation’s healers.”
