Cerner Enviza will collaborate with a range of Oracle provider networks in the discovery, development and deployment of health insights and therapies.

They will focus on the development of a new methodology to optimise computerised queries or the phenotyping of digital patient data and clinical notes, to support pharmacoepidemiology.

Cerner Enviza global head Mike Kelly said: “This is an incredible opportunity to work with these exceptional leaders to use Oracle’s de-identified EHR data to help transform unstructured clinical notes into validated and useable data for physicians and researchers.

“Connected technologies and unified data can accelerate innovation and, in turn, help providers realise better recommendations and outcomes for their patients.”
