Oracle Health EHR system will improve data sharing and care access to support 2.6 million American Indians and Alaska Natives
Oracle Health and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), a business unit of General Dynamics, are collaborating to modernize Indian Health Service's (IHS) electronic health record (EHR) system. An agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, IHS provides federal health services to 2.6 million American Indians and Alaska Natives belonging to 574 federally recognized tribes across 37 states. Under a 10-year, $2.5 billion contract, GDIT will replace the agency's current system with a cloud-based enterprise EHR system from Oracle Health.
'Oracle Health's EHR system has been proven across the most complex operating environments, including supporting the US Department of Defense locations around the world,' said Mike Sicilia, executive vice president of Oracle Global Industries. 'Working alongside GDIT, we will be able to bring the same level of modern, secure systems to IHS for the betterment of their staff and millions of American Indians and Alaska Natives who rely on their services.'
