From its new parent company cutting jobs to problems with its U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs EHR rollout to a large racial discrimination settlement, here are 10 updates on Oracle Cerner reported by Becker’s in August:

New Orleans-based Ochsner Health is the first health system to integrate its EHR with an Epic application that aims to provide individualized cancer treatment.

Zafar Chaudry, MD, has been involved in health IT for more than three decades, working in both the United States and United Kingdom. So he has a unique perspective on how patient data exchange operates in two totally different healthcare systems.

Epic entered into an agreement with medical technology company Haemonetics Corp. to offer its blood bank information system to Epic’s network of hospitals.

Oracle Cerner’s clients have achieved top HIMSS Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model Stage 7 validation, the highest recognition for hospitals that have embraced the shift from paper to EHRs.

From plans to build a nationwide health IT infrastructure to new partnerships with health systems, here are nine updates on Epic’s operations, software products and partnerships reported by Becker’s Hospital Review in August.

Judy Faulkner, CEO of Epic, discussed the company’s vision to build a nationwide health IT infrastructure last week at the annual Users Group Meeting while dressed as Amelia Earhart, according to The Cap Times.

Twelve hospitals and hundreds of clinics that are part of Morgantown, W.Va.-based WVU Medicine were recently recognized by HIMSS for EHR adoption.

One of the largest dental service organizations in the U.S. partnered with Epic to install EHR across almost 900 dental practices in its network.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has had 498 disruptions to its EHR since Oracle Cerner began installing the new system in the fall of 2020, FedScoop reported recently.
